Lastly, the question of applicability on remunerative interest will also be approached. As far as this matter is concerned, the focus is on whether the application of the legal institutes of the loss of term benefit and/ or contract resolution implies the imputability or not of the payment of compensatory interest related to installment payments. The study of these matters proves to be of great importance, in particular for better knowledge from the consumer part, as well as a more effective regulation of the relationship that is established between financier and consumer.
