Restructuring Loans
When the Loan Can Be Restructured
Technically, Restructuring of an existing loan is the provision of the Borrower with a new loan that fully covers the outstanding balance on an existing active or past due loan.
Restructuring is used when it is necessary to change the loan terms to make it easier to pay back and help the Borrower avoid defaulting on current debts by negotiating reduced interest rates.
Loans 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.
