What is Consumer Debt?
A Sacramento bankruptcy attorney explains: What is consumer debt?
Consumer debt as defined by the Bankruptcy Code is debt or an obligation to repay money loan incurred by an individual primarily for a personal, family, or household purpose.
Examples of consumer debt are loans to buy a house, car loans, retirement account loans, personal loans from friends and family, lines of credit, home equity lines of credit. These debts can further be categorized as secured where the debt is backed by collateral or unsecured where the debt is not tied to any collateral.
Consumer debt usually requires repayment with interest. If the repayment terms of consumer debt outweighs the ability to repay then there are several options to deal with the repayment of debt.
To know and understand what these options are, give Sagaria Law a call.
