What is a Default?

What is a Default?

The term Default is used to describe a situation where a relationship between a borrower and financial institution has failed due to the borrower not meeting repayments they are obligated to make under a contact. Generally you need to miss 8 consecutive payments in order for a lender to register a default against you.
