De Haan’s Annemie Van Waeyenberghe points out the umpteenth risk of such a credit card. “My son bought a house in 2015 through a public sale. He had to complete the loan within two weeks, but it didn’t work. He apparently he still had outstanding debts, “she says.” I fell from heaven. How is it possible? My son didn’t have a loan yet. ”
The family sought advice from the National Bank’s Central Register of Individual Loans. “Indeed, a debt was registered there with a name we did not know.” That turned out to be the lender of a large power chain.
“My son had bought a television there in installments,” says Annemie. “He also received a customer card, which turned out to be a credit card,” says Annemie. “Eventually the loan came, but with the stress and paperwork required.”
