Consumer Rights

Our office has also achieved significant success in the area of ​​out-of-court debt settlement. With extensive experience and a network of partners that extends both to systemic banks and to loan and credit management companies that have taken over the debts, we undertake mediation between debtors and credit institutions from the initial stage of document exchange to the processing and signing of the final settlement agreement.

Settlement cases following out-of-court negotiation are increasing, mainly due to the repeal of Law 3869/2010 – Katseli Law and the pressure from the European Central Bank to reduce NPLS.
