Loans Disputes

A bank loan is a sum of money that a bank lends to an individual or business, which is to be paid back with interest over an agreed-upon period of time. There are different types of bank loans, depending on the purpose and terms of the loan. Here are some common types:

1. Personal Loans: Unsecured loans used for personal expenses like medical bills, vacations, or debt consolidation. These usually don’t require collateral.
2. Home Loans/Mortgages: Loans used to purchase or refinance a home, where the property serves as collateral.
3. Auto Loans: Loans specifically for purchasing a vehicle, where the car itself is the collateral.
4. Business Loans: Loans provided to businesses for expansion, equipment, or working capital. These can be secured or unsecured, depending on the bank and the business's financial situation.
5. Student Loans: Loans to help pay for education expenses, often with lower interest rates and flexible repayment options.

Key Factors in Bank Loans:

• Interest Rate: The percentage charged by the bank for lending the money.
• Term Length: The time you have to repay the loan (e.g., 5, 10, or 30 years for mortgages).
• Collateral: Some loans require assets as collateral (e.g., a home or car). If the borrower doesn't repay, the bank can seize the collateral.
• Credit Score: Banks often use your credit score to determine the interest rate and whether you qualify for a loan.
• Repayment Schedule: How and when you will make payments, often monthly.
