CÖF To File Criminal Report On Banks In Hungary
- 7 Aug 2013 11:00 AM
The pro-government Civil Unity Forum (CÖF) will file a criminal report against banks and the Bank Association, its president László Csizmadia announced on Tuesday. The declaration came after Csizmadia had talks at the Administration and Justice Ministry on solving the problems of foreign-currency mortgage debtors.
Economy Minister Mihály Varga discussed the mortgage issue with the CÖF last week.
The CÖF report will accuse banks of usurious lending, Csizmadia said.
“We have to try to push banks towards supporting solutions that are acceptable to debtors,” said CÖF lawyer Zoltán Lomniczi Jr.
