The mortgage system in Bulgaria is not transparent and very complex. A European Parliament delegation has come to this conclusion after a visit to the country in February. Among the problems are misleading behavior of private banks such as failure to inform about potential risks and misleading clauses in agreements, insufficient supervision of private bailiffs and difficult access to free legal aid for consumers.
