(Case C-357/16) (<span class="super note-tag">1</span>)

((Reference for a preliminary ruling - Unfair commercial practices - Directive 2005/29/EC - Scope - Debt collection agency - Consumer credit - Assignment of debt - Nature of the legal relationship between the agency and the debtor - Article 2(c) - Concept of ‘product’ - Recovery measures taken in parallel to the intervention of a bailiff))

Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: UAB ‘Gelvora’

Defendant: Valstybinė vartotojų teisių apsaugos tarnyba

Operative part of the judgment

Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market and amending Council Directive 84/450/EEC, Directives 97/7/EC, 98/27/EC and 2002/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Unfair Commercial Practices Directive’) must be interpreted as meaning that the legal relationship between a debt collection agency and the debtor, who has defaulted under a consumer credit agreement and whose debt has been assigned to that agency, falls within the material scope of the directive. The practices in which that agency engages in order to recover that debt fall within the concept of ‘product’ within the meaning of Article 2(c) of that directive. In that regard, the fact that the existence of the debt was confirmed by a court decision, and that that decision was passed to a bailiff for enforcement, is without consequence.
