Summary/Abstract: In a situation of a customer’s demands a cost reduction from the creditor in the case of an early repayment of a consumer credit, for proper assessment of the case, the position of the CJEU adopted in the judgment of 2019 regarding the interpretation of directive on credit agreements for consumers should be taken into account, as well as the expiry of the deadline in 2010 transposing the provisions of this Directive. Based on the analysis, the author states that the interpretation of the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act, which is incompatible with the conclusions of the CJEU’s judgment, is not binding. Thus, starting from 11 June 2010, creditors are obliged to reduce all costs included in the total cost of a consumer credit in case of its early repayment by the customer.
