When the borrower fails to pay the debt owed?

When a borrower fails to pay the debt owed, it typically results in default, which can lead to various consequences such as damage to their credit score, legal action from the lender, or the loss of collateral if the loan is secured. The lender may initiate collection efforts or negotiate new terms to recover the owed amount. Ultimately, persistent default can lead to bankruptcy, which may provide the borrower with some relief but also has long-term financial repercussions.
