May I make an early repayment / rescheduling?

In the field of consumer credit law, you are free to reschedule debt at any time. For personal loans between CHF 500 and CHF 80,000, the principles of the Consumer Credit Act (KKG) apply in Switzerland. In addition, the KKG only applies to repayment terms of more than 3 months, which is the case in most cases. Within the scope of the law, the existing lender must provide you with a compulsory early repayment free of charge.
