Understanding Creditor Rights After Loan Default

Default triggers a set of remedies, not a single action. Knowing which rights you hold and when they attach keeps recovery decisions defensible. ## What Default Actually Entitles You To Default is defined by the contract, not by feel. Missed payments are the common trigger, but lapsed insurance, unauthorized transfer, or relocation of collateral can also qualify. Once default exists, a secured party may accelerate the balance, take possession of the collateral, dispose of it in a commercially reasonable manner, and pursue the deficiency. Those rights are conditional. Recovery must occur without breach of the peace, personal property must be handled properly, and required notices must be sent on time. A missed notice or a poorly documented sale can reduce or eliminate the deficiency you are otherwise entitled to collect. Each one is a place where a borrower defense or counterclaim typically begins. ## Four Conditions That Protect Those Rights Default defined and documented in the agreement No confrontation, force, or unlawful entry Redemption and sale notices delivered on time ## How PRG Supports Your Post-Default Process Commercially reasonable disposition with records We confirm the account, collateral, and lien details before any field activity begins.
