It serves as a form of protection for the lender; if the borrower fails to repay the loan according to the agreed terms, the lender has the right to seize the collateral and sell it to recover the owed money. Different types of loans use different kinds of collateral:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Default_Consequences\"><\/span>Default Consequences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a borrower fails to meet the repayment terms, they are considered in default. The consequences of defaulting on a loan can be severe and long-lasting: For secured loans, the lender has the legal right to seize the collateral without court proceedings, depending on the terms of the loan and local laws. Defaulting on a loan will significantly damage the borrower&#8217;s credit score, affecting their ability to obtain future credit and possibly leading to higher interest rates on subsequent loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preventive_Measures_and_Mitigation\"><\/span>Preventive Measures and Mitigation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaging with the lender at the first sign of financial trouble can lead to modified repayment terms that are more manageable.
