Մոդելի արդյունքThe Central Bank of Armenia is facing intense public pressure regarding the practices of commercial banks and Universal Credit Organizations (UCOs) during the crisis. Citizens are highly distressed by predatory interest rates and aggressive debt collection from UCOs, ineffective implementation of 'credit holidays' where banks demand lump-sum repayments of deferred installments, and systemic financial exclusion caused by rigid credit blacklisting ('sev cucak') rules. Immediate regulatory intervention is required to address banks withholding salary cards for debt collection and to halt active foreclosure auctions on primary residences during the emergency window.

Բարձր Banks withholding reissued salary cards to force loan repayment
A citizen reports that a commercial bank is withholding their reissued salary card and current salary, demanding full repayment of a 200,000 AMD card loan, leaving the family's sole breadwinner with zero income.
Direct the Consumer Protection Division to investigate the bank's practice of withholding reissued salary cards and enforce compliance with fair debt collection standards.

Համակարգային օրինաչափություններ
-
Regulatory gaps in UCO consumer protection and interest rate caps
The current regulatory framework allows licensed UCOs to charge exorbitant effective interest rates and employ aggressive debt collection tactics, which bypasses the spirit of consumer protection laws and exacerbates household insolvency during crises.
-
Structural rigidity of the credit registry (ACRA) rules
The automatic blacklisting of borrowers and guarantors, combined with a rigid 5-year retention period even after full debt settlement, creates a permanent class of financially excluded citizens, blocking them from state-subsidized economic recovery programs.
-
Lack of standardized guidelines for emergency loan restructuring
Leaving 'credit holidays' to the voluntary discretion of individual commercial banks leads to inconsistent practices, where some banks demand lump-sum repayments of accumulated deferred installments, effectively converting a temporary relief measure into a severe future payment shock.

Ինչ չափազանց չկշռել
Isolated, highly theoretical proposals to print money to lower interest rates or to fix the USD exchange rate by government decree should not distract from the immediate, systemic pressure of UCO debt collection and credit registry exclusion.
