FINALDescription
The Hungarian DPA has imposed a fine of EUR 72,500 on a bank. An individual had filed a complaint with the DPA. The bank had conducted a credit check on the individual based on a credit application. However, the bank later conducted a second credit check, although the individual had not requested a new credit offer. The DPA therefore found that this second credit check was carried out unlawfully due to the lack of a legal basis.
