What is a Loan Default?

September 15, 2022/in Blog /by Abl IT

When someone defaults on their home loan it means that they have not made their payments on time. Generally, banks will send a letter to the customer if a payment is late and they will usually charge a late fee or penalty. If a customer continues to miss making their payments for a period of generally three to six months the bank may default them and this means that the bank will put a black mark against the customer’s credit file.

If the situation does not improve, the bank may turn to the Mortgage Insurer to make good on the loan. If the Mortgage Insurer pays out the mortgage to the bank, they will come to a payment arrangement with the customer. In many cases this will mean that the customer will have to sell their home to clear the outstanding loan.

They have assisted us on our last two home loans and couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Will be utilising them again in future!

Highly recommend Donna from Cornerstone Home Loans. She assisted my partner and I with buying our first house - her responses were always timely, she kept us updated every step of the way, and was more than happy to answer our (many) questions.

We have always had great service from Tracie and the girls. If the Office staff couldn’t answer my questions straight away, they certainly made sure they found the answer quickly and came back to me.
