The lending system is now quite well developed and enjoys well-deserved popularity both among the population and among organizations. Financial loan schemes developed by bank specialists cover almost all issues arising in this service market. Currently, a large number of a wide variety of programs are offered: consumer, mortgage, education and many others.

But what happens if you do not pay the loan and violate the agreement with the bank? What actions will the bank take, and how soon will this happen? Will this lead to termination of the contract or loss of collateral? What are the real consequences if you do not pay the monthly installments on time? We will try to consider options for the development of such situations.

Loan defaults, unfortunately, are quite common. They happen for various reasons: the borrower has run out of money, or he simply forgot to transfer the required amount to the bank on time. An erroneous transfer of money could have been made through inattention, or the borrower deliberately decided to violatebank agreement. Each specific case is considered from the point of view of the agreement concluded with the bank. It clearly states what will happen if you do not pay the loan. The measures taken by the bank in relation to non-payers also follow from the concluded agreement.

The bank knows exactly what will happen if you do not pay the loan, and usually provides itself with guarantees for the return of funds. Most often, a deposit is required, which is opened in the same bank. Or the guaranty may be movable or immovable property of the borrower. For organizations that purchase equipment through a bank, the equipment itself can be collateral for repaying a loan. There are agreements that are drawn up in such a way that in case of refusal to pay money, the bank brings a claim against co-borrowers or guarantors for the loan.

It turns out that you can not return the funds, but in return you lose any property - this is the only sure way to legally not pay the loan.

But if you have temporary financial difficulties, then there is a real opportunity to get a deferred payment. For example, you can make a written application to the bank's management with a request to change the terms of the loan repayment, indicating the reasons why it cannot be paid on time. The decision will depend on the bank's policy towards non-payers.

If you really do not have the opportunity to pay the loan even in the distant future, then here you must act according to the law. If the amount owed exceeds the tot althe value of the collateral, the bank will file a claim for damages and will try to drag out the process as long as possible in order to collect as much interest as possible. But too long consideration of the claim is not included in the bank's plans, since after three years all financial claims against you will stop.

Try to pay monthly amounts in an amount that matches your income - the fact that you do not refuse to pay, but simply cannot, is important for the court and the bank. Now the court decides what will happen if the loan is not paid.

Conduct official correspondence if there is a need to discuss the statement of claim. Do not pay attention to collectors, the maximum that they can do is to bother you on the phone, which you can simply turn off. If you do not have property registered in your name, and you have nothing to sue, then you just have to wait for the court decision.
