Protecting Property From Repossession

Full Video Transcript

If you fail to make your loan payments, a creditor may have the power to repossess the property attached to the loan. There are two kinds of loans, secured and unsecured. Secured loans, such as for a house or a car, require that the property purchased be used as collateral for the loan. If you fall behind on the payments for a secured loan, the creditor can take back your property and sell it to pay off your remaining debt. The creditor may be able to get a lien against other property you own and force its sale to pay the debt owed. If you’re worried about a repossession or otherwise struggling with debt, consult an attorney in your area today to find out more about your legal options.
