However, they can effectively defend themselves against high instalments and over-indebtedness.
The act is to enter into force on 1 January 2018, if the bill of President Andrzej Duda is adopted by the members of parliament. What does it mean? People with housing loans will receive monthly support of PLN 1.5-2 thousand for 3 years. They will be able to repay the interest-free financial assistance for 12 years, provided that the cost of credit exceeds 50 percent. their income.

And the case is significant, it concerns 600 thousand agreements and as many as one million people who are repaying Swiss franc loans.
