The security interest is the lender’s
right to take possession of a particular item in the event
you fail to make payments as agreed. In essence, this happens
when the lender has requested collateral
as part of the terms of a loan.
The most common myth about security interest is that a lender
can’t repossess property until the scheduled payment
is a set period of time past due. In some cases, the payment
due date is already the “thirty-day notice,” meaning
the payment is officially thirty-one days past due on the
first day after the due date. The specific terms of your loan
or credit agreement will outline the exact situation under
which the lender can invoke his right to security interest.
