5 Ways to Avoid Student Loans

Everyone knows that student loan debt has become a massive problem here in Germany. Even though I'm not a student yet, I'm amazed at the enormous debt some people have after graduation.

Processing fees for loans - it's urgent!

With its rulings of 28.10.14 (XI ZR 348/13 and XI ZR 17/14), the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has finally confirmed the illegality of processing fees for loans. In the past, several state courts had already ordered various banks to repay processing fees for loans. However, other banks have not recognized these rulings for themselves. This is now an end.

To which credits the BGH judgement applies?

Processing fees for loans of all kinds (z.B. Car loan, furniture loan, real estate financing, etc.), which were concluded since 2004 until today, which were already pre-formulated in the loan application, must be refunded by the lenders. However, there is not much time left for this. The statute of limitations for loans from 2004 to the end of 2011 ends irrevocably on 31.12.14.

Why barrier-free living space is important?

Steps, bathtubs, thresholds, carpets, dark corridors – many large and also small obstacles can make everyday life in one's own four walls very difficult for people in need of care or with physical impairments and can lead to accidents.
