Default

A default happens when a borrower fails to meet the terms of their credit agreement, typically by missing payments for a sustained period. Lenders usually record a default after several missed payments, and it is reported to credit reference agencies.

Default is the outcome lenders try to predict and prevent. Early, supportive contact and affordability-based arrangements reduce the number of accounts that reach it.
