This way you know whether it is worth canceling your current insurance contract.
- Check whether taking out outstanding balance insurance with an insurer other than the one linked to the bank where you took out your loan does not have a negative effect on the rate of your loan.

If you have contributed your outstanding balance insurance for tax purposes for a tax reduction, the part that you have already contributed incorrectly will be taxed at 33% + the municipal tax.
In case of disputes concerning the application of the right to be forgotten, the Follow-up Office for the pricing is authorized to give a non-binding advice. In the event of persistent disagreement, the matter may also be brought to court.
