DUVAR – Many businesses ask their customers “Cash or credit card?” when making credit card payments. In payments made with credit cards, which have become the lifeline of consumers in difficult economic conditions, some businesses reflect a commission fee on their customers’ shopping. Experts say that this commission is illegal.

Lawyer Bahadırhan Tabak states that these fees collected from customers remain with the businesses and says that businesses make unregistered earnings from the cents received in cash purchases.

He completed their bachelor's degree at Istanbul University Faculty of Law and their master's degree in Public Law at Çankaya University. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Medical Law at Medeniyet Üniversitesi. Starting his career as a judge, TABAK served in Elazığ and Ankara for a period of time. Most recently, while serving as a judge at the 15th Civil Chamber of the Court of Cassation, which acts as a higher court reviewing legal disputes arising from aesthetic operations, he resigned from the judiciary and transitioned to private practice. Currently, he is registered with the Istanbul Bar Association as an attorney and mediator, focusing primarily on Health Law in his legal practice. Click Here For Detailed Information
