The purpose of this study is to protect consumers who are seeking loans to meet their individual needs other than professional or commercial purposes while concluding these contracts and during the contract. It will be analyzed whether consumer loan contracts are prepared in accordance with the basic principles of consumer law and whether the consumer actively participates in these contracts. The problem in this study is that the consumer does not have enough information in the loan agreements prepared by the lending financial institution.There are grievances in consumer loans due to additional burden on the consumer, aggravating the burden of the consumer and credit costs. In this study, consumer loan contracts will be evaluated legally and problems encountered in consumer loan contracts will be examined from different aspects according to the provisions in favor of the customers.Transactions like the costs demanded separately from the original debt in consumer loans that we discussed in doctrine and encounter in practice against the consumer will be evaluated within the scope of consumer protection law.
