Freeze a loan

When applying for a loan, banks and borrowers first of all assess the borrower’s solvency, the ability to fulfill obligations in accordance with the concluded agreement. However, it is impossible to foresee all future events. Therefore, in the event of force majeure, the borrower has problems with the fulfillment of obligations (payment of funds in accordance with the contract), due to events beyond the control of the borrower. In this case, the amount of borrowing will not matter.

In the event of unforeseen problems, there are problems with the payment of debts, interest and penalties begin to rise.

The best solution to avoid such issues is to conclude an additional agreement between the lender and the borrower, at the conclusion of which the issues of freezing the loan for a certain time are discussed, and reducing the loan burden until the borrower’s financial position stabilizes.Ugrin Svyatoslav

Under what conditions can you freeze a loan to a person who is in a difficult situation with the payment of debt?

Banking institutions generally go to a meeting with the borrower, and conclude additional agreements with them if there are good reasons for that. The reasons for each borrower may be different, therefore, when concluding an additional agreement, the bank carefully considers the significance of the loan freeze.

Such circumstances include the following:

• Release from work not on their own initiative.
• In case of poor health, or expensive treatment.
• The emergence of additional dependents in the family.
• Being on maternity leave.
• Change in the borrower’s income.
• If a person becomes disabled, as a result of which income has decreased.
• Due to the economic crisis in the country, the income of a person has significantly decreased.
• Death of the family breadwinner.

There are also other compelling reasons why the borrower’s ability to pay has significantly decreased, or none at all. Therefore, when signing the agreement, you should take into account the possibility of force majeure circumstances in advance, and include a clause in the agreement with the bank, if possible, to freeze the loan. In this case, during the onset of an unforeseen situation, it is much easier to achieve a common language with the bank.
