What Is Default And How Does It Affect My Credit Score?

In simple terms, a loan default is when you have not made your agreed upon loan payments to the lender. There can be any number of reasons why a consumer may not have made payments, but once a certain period of time has elapsed, that non-payment record will become a part of the consumer’s credit history. Once it becomes a part of the credit history (or credit record) it is available to be used during the formulation of the consumer’s credit score.

Default can occur with any type of loan. Student loans, home loans, auto, SBA, 401k, and payday loans are all susceptible to loan default. One of the most common loans where default happens is with credit cards.

Making Partial Loan Payments to Stop Foreclosure

Making partial loan payments while in foreclosure is what many homeowners ask us about, usually because one or both spouses became unemployed. Before they are employed again, they can still make partial payments because they frequently have one income source. Typically, as soon as they are working again, they can handle the old loan payment and even have some left over to make a small additional payment.

These homeowners call their lender and explain the problem and are met with no sympathy and a resounding “no” for an answer. The lender’s rep will go on to explain that it is the bank’s policy that they are not allowed to accept partial payments. Sometimes they even say it is “law” that they can’t help. Frankly, the rep is telling the homeowner the truth depending on whether the lender is the actual lender or just a processing company. So the general answer is always going to be “no”.

How does the personal loan from banks such as Bank of America or Citibank work?

I just received an offer to apply for a personal loan for up to 35,000 with Bank of America and for up to 5,000 with citibank. I actually need no more than 7,500. The interest rate is between 9,97 and 27,88 based on credit worthyness. I will like to know how it works. I’m hesitating between that and applying for a credit card. My credit score is fair (650). A friend advised me to go for the loan because it’s a guaranteed fixed interest. But since I’ve never done it b4 I will appreciate some more advice. Thanks Much.

What are the pros and cons of consumer credit counselling and debt consolidation?

Hello, I am in desperate need of some advice as my situation is just getting out of hand. I used to have a credit score of almost 800 about 2 years ago. Now I dont even bother to check my score anymore. I made the mistake of getting some rental properties with ARMS. As time passed, bad tenants, rising interest rates and a recent wedding have REALLY put me upside down. I have tried and tried everything. A couple of my properties have nearly been foreclosed on. I have tried those firms that dispute credit issues but thats not helping out. The thing is, my revolving debt is really not that bad, I only have two revolving accounts, but they are maxed out. I just need to catch up on them and also straighten out my mortgages. I have thought of consumer credit counselling and wanted to know its pros and cons, any advice would be grateful. Thanks!
