Introduction
Technically, Restructuring of an existing loan is provision of the Borrower with a new loan that fully covers outstanding balance on an existing active or past due loan.
When the Loan Can Be Restructured
Restructuring is used when it is necessary to change the loan terms to make it easier to pay back and help the Borrower to avoid defaulting on current debts by negotiating reduced interest rates.
Loan cannot be restructured if there have been made payments for future installments or if a promise to pay with a date in the future has been registered in the system.
Who Can Restructure
Restructuring can be performed by Back-Office users on the Servicing and Collection workplaces. Only the user to whom the loan is assigned can perform the Restructuring.
