My son has an unsecured loan just found out hes not been meeting repayment can debt collector take my property?

No.

Unless you are a signatory to the loan.

If he has put you on it behind your back,you should have been given a default notice. If you have not received one then you are OK. If you have, challenge the loan company about it.

Contact CAB for advice.


rtfm
Not unless you co-signed on the loan. Otherwise, this is strictly your son's problem.


bob t
The answer to this is no. That is assuming you haven't signed as a guarantor or co signed the loan

Take a look at the loan documents to find out who the signatories are. If you're not one of them, then you're safe.

Relax!!

A secured loan is a loan taken out where the lender(bank) takes a legal charge against another asset you own in case you don't pay up. This is his 'security' and could be a house, shop, car etc. If you don't pay he takes the 'security, sells it and gets his money that way.

An unsecured loan means there is no such legal charge against anything and if you fail to pay up he needs to get a court to order you to pay up or have property seized to cover the debt. This is when the bailiffs go in.

Note that the only property that can be seized is that which belongs to the borrower - i.e. Your son, NOT you.

The only way you could face any liability for your son's debt is if you signed the loan forms when he took out the loan and promised to guarantee the money in the event he failed to pay. If you signed nothing you have nothing to worry about.

No, they cant take your property away if it is only your son's name on the loan.


Mani
Unless you have signed as a surety there is no chance of you loosing your property.

There are many things that collectors will do to recoup their funds other than actually taking your property.
There are pay off programs for example. The best thing to do is get your son involved by contacting the agency and discussing ways to catch up by paying some of the past due extra per month. If you take the initiative, you would be amazed at how these companies will work with you.

The more likely outcome is that your son will receive a Default Notice, which will remain on his Credit File for six years. If he is living with you, your credit profile will be affected, as all the occupants of the property will be deemed to be high-risk. The Lender may impose a County Court Judgement on your son for the balance of the loan.
The Lender may sell the debt to a Debt Collections Agency at a discount, which incentivizes the Agency to maximise the value of the debt and administration costs by impounding goods belonging to your son.
If you can afford it, the best course of action is to pay off his debt and then come to some arrangement about how he repays you. This will avoid the whole household getting a bad credit record.


rennickelizabe
no he is responsible for the debt


Discovery
I don't think you can be held responsible in any way for your son's debt unless you signed as a gaurantor


velcropap
did you co-sign on the loan?


Duane L
If he's under 18, anyone that gave him a loan is illegal and can not be collected.
