The rules of compensation for debt recovery costs have been changed again
On 24 March 2016 new rules entered into force on the compensation for debt recovery costs (“behajtási költségátalány” in Hungarian). Until this date, the compensation for debt recovery costs was regulated by the Hungarian Civil Code, now the rules are included in a separate act.
The most important change is that it is no longer compulsory to charge compensation for debt recovery costs (in forints in the amount equivalent to EUR 40), it is just an option.
