Swiss franc borrowers beset by dishonest advisors. How not to be deceived?
Dishonest “consulting” companies and law firms want to make money (or, in fact, simply prey) on Swiss franc borrowers. Although they have no experience, they promise to quickly and effectively resolve the dispute with the bank. Their employees present themselves as experts and an uninformed customer can easily fall victim to them. What should you pay attention to to avoid disappointment?
Encouraged by information about victories in courts, Swiss franc borrowers are very eager to file lawsuits against banks. They often do it on their own initiative, but it is also common for law or consulting firms to contact them and offer representation in court. Many companies operate dishonestly: they were founded on the wave of popularity of Swiss franc lawsuits, and their employees (only some of whom are lawyers) do not have the knowledge and experience to properly manage the case. They are focused only on commission, in other words: they prey on Swiss franc borrowers.
How not to be fooled by fake law firms and not to lose valuable funds on ineffective legal assistance? Some tips can be found on the Przewalutowani website – KancelariaKredytobiorcy.pl.
Check the credibility of the Swiss franc office
The first step you should take before any cooperation is to thoroughly check the law firm you plan to contact. Legal law firms have registered offices, a KRS number and qualified lawyers or legal advisors. To verify this, make sure that the law firm in question is entered in the register kept by the Polish Bar Council or the National Chamber of Legal Advisors. It is also worth paying attention to opinions on the Internet – check sources, but be careful with ratings from unknown or unreliable websites.
A few years ago, a law firm appeared that promised to immediately solve the problems of Swiss franc borrowers, such as invalidating the loan agreement. After a short time, it turned out that not only was she not registered, but also presented non-existent licenses of her “lawyers”. Clients lost thousands of zlotys, and the law firm disappeared without a trace.
Beware of promises by the Swiss franc law firm to quickly solve the problem
If a law firm says it will “certainly” win your case in a short amount of time, a red flag should go off. The problems of Swiss franc borrowers are complicated and the processes may take up to several years, especially if they concern loan agreements from many years ago. No reliable law firm guarantees results – each case is individual and court decisions are not certain.
Avoid advisors without a law degree
There are many “advisors” on the market who are neither lawyers nor banking law specialists. They offer help based on general tips available online, without knowledge of current regulations and court decisions. Working with such people may result not only in loss of money, but also in legal problems if you are misled.
Pay attention to the contract with the Swiss franc office
Before you sign any contract, read its content carefully. Beware of hidden fees, clauses that may suggest additional costs, and terms that seem too good to be true. Legal law firms usually offer the first consultation free of charge or for a nominal fee. If someone demands a large sum from you at the very beginning of cooperation, consider whether you are dealing with a fraud.
