How Loan Settlement Generally Works
When a borrower is experiencing genuine repayment difficulty, the borrower may communicate the financial circumstances to the lender. The lender may review the account, outstanding amount, repayment history and other relevant circumstances.
If the lender is willing to consider settlement, it may communicate proposed terms. The borrower should understand the amount, payment deadline and documentation before accepting any proposal.
Is Loan Settlement Guaranteed?
No. A borrower cannot assume that a lender will offer or approve settlement. Eligibility, amount, payment terms and approval depend on the lender, account and individual circumstances.
SettleMyDue provides structured borrower assistance and does not guarantee settlement, waiver, reduction or any particular lender outcome.
Important Credit Considerations
Settlement for less than the full contractual dues can affect how an account is reported to credit bureaus and may negatively affect the borrower's credit profile.
Borrowers should understand possible credit consequences before agreeing to a settlement.
