Loan Payment Default

One of the most important terms of a loan agreement or a loan letter is the payment term which would provide for the loan to be paid on or before the due date. However, some ungrateful people would just intentionally default in making payment until some form of pressure is applied on them. Instead of sending thugs to collect the loan from the recalcitrant borrower, a better way is to enforce the legal rights in the loan agreement or the loan letter by making a formal demand for payment and simultaneously threatening the borrower with legal action unless the demand is complied with. If the demand is still not complied with, then get a lawyer to sue the borrower. Never, never, never break the borrower's head or any other part of his body.
