Even if a person dies, the credit cards and loans they owe still need to be repaid.
But who will pay off the credit card and loan balances after the borrower dies? Mainly divided into the following situations:
1. Although the borrower has passed away, if there is an heir, after the heir inherits the inheritance, all debts will be borne by the heir. The inheritance inherited by the heirs not only includes real estate such as deposits and houses, but also includes the liabilities and arrears left by the predecessors.
2. If the borrower has no heirs, or the designated heirs give up the inheritance, the bank can only liquidate the deceased’s assets in the bank. If it is not enough to repay the debt, it can only Deal with bad debts.
3. Under the premise of Article 2 above, if the borrower does not leave any inheritance and the credit card overdraft money has been squandered through various methods, the credit card and credit card in his name will The loan does not need to be repaid.
This risk is something that the bank should have anticipated when applying for a loan for this borrower, and it is also a risk that the bank must bear.
4. If the borrower has a guarantor when taking the loan, then the guarantor will be responsible for repayment after the death of the borrower.
Possible risks of general credit loans are as follows:
1. Willingness to repay
Usually banks will judge whether or not the applicant is eligible based on the applicant’s credit record and communication. If you have a good willingness to repay, if there are multiple overdue behaviors in your credit history, no matter how good the applicant's financial ability is and how strong your repayment ability is, this kind of customer will bring risks to the lending institution.
2. Repayment ability
The bank will review the borrower's bank flow and assets to determine whether the borrower's income is stable. For fixed assets with unstable income and no realizable income If a user has a strong willingness to repay the loan in a timely manner and is unable to repay the loan, this is definitely not possible.
3. Hidden liabilities
Invisible liabilities refer to liabilities that are not reflected in the credit report, such as loans between friends of the borrower, loan sharking, etc., or the borrower is paying for Others provide loan guarantees. Even if such users can meet the bank loan requirements when applying for a loan, there is no guarantee that unexpected events will occur after the loan is successful.
4. Over-indebtedness
When a borrower already has excessive debt that is beyond his or her ability to bear, applying for another loan will only increase the borrower’s financial pressure. If the loan is large, the repayment ability will of course be greatly reduced, which is also a big risk for the lending institution.
