Frank loan owners don't let go of banks, but the wave of lawsuits subsides

According to data from district courts, about 29,500 franking cases were filed in the first half of this year. This is a drop of more than 1 percent y/y. Experts point to the increasingly complex financial situation of francophone borrowers, including the number of loan installments. According to the material collected, recently nearly half of the lawsuits went to the capital. Gdańsk and Poznań are next in line, while Zamość, Łomża, and Krosno are at the bottom of the list. In contrast, the largest increase y/y was recorded in Suwałki – by more than 104 percent. The strongest decline took place in Opole – by more than 82 percent. 

"The topic of franking credits, but also those granted in euros or, more rarely, in yen or dollars, despite these figures, is still very topical. There are about 130,000-150,000 cases in the courts, accounting for about 15-20 percent of all loan agreements. The stable impact also testifies to the solidification of the market. More customers are choosing to file lawsuits. However, this is happening evenly, not in waves, as could be observed until now," attorney Jakub Bartosiak of MBM Legal, said.
