Directive (EU) 2021/2167 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2021 on credit servicers and credit purchasers and amending Directives 2008/48/EC and 2014/17/EU (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(57) In order to ensure that the level of protection of the consumer is not affected in the event of an assignment to a third party of the creditor’s rights under a mortgage credit agreement or of the credit agreement itself, an amendment to Directive 2014/17/EU should be introduced to establish that, in cases of a transfer of credit covered by that Directive, the consumer is entitled to plead against the credit purchaser any defence which was available to the consumer as against the original creditor and to be informed of the assignment.
