Question by Franziz R: What will happen if a person cannot pay a huge amount of personal loan?
A friend of mine has a $ 20,000 equity and $ 40,000 personal loan in the bank and was not able to pay a single amount because he was laid off from his job. What do you think the bank will do to his property and to him?

Best answer:

Answer by Mr. G
They will repossess the collateral (house, car, etc) that he placed on the loans.

They will take him to court to recoup the difference between the collateral’s actual value and the amounts of the loans.

Finally, his credit will be shot.

I would suggest he get himself a lawyer to see if there is a way out…bankruptcy perhaps??

    Eventually the bank will get whatever was used as security and your friend will have ruined his credit.

    Firstly, harassment

    Secondly, Credit Rating will drop to nothing

    Thirdly, extreme harassment from collection agencies and then most likely attorney’s office that represent the lender.

    Fourth, lien put on property, or at the most extreme, foreclosure.

    Your friend has the option of bankruptcy if things start getting out of hand. Let him know that if he chooses this option, his credit rating will always be tainted and buying a new car, loan, house, etc. will always be harder

    They will take the property that he used to secure the debt. If it was secured by his house, they will sell his house from under him. If it was his car, they will repo it. The bank will get its money however they can.

    Hi,

    The only option before him is to file bankruptcy. But, before doing it he should explore the possibilities of debt consolidation. This will give sometime for him to find some other ways to repay the loan. He has to be hopeful that he could find a job in the meantime and start repaying his old dues.
