Expert Tutors
A creditor hardly plays any role in the working of the company but they receive their due in time. If not, then they can enforce the collaterals that were offered during borrowing of money. If the company fails to pay back the creditor within due date then the bank is declared to be in default and might end up in bankruptcy. The reason behind inability to repay maybe due to many reasons – be it due to poor market or bad management, the creditor isn’t responsible for it. If the creditor doesn’t receive his covenants on time, then the creditor will eventually get hold of the collateral, which is sometimes the ownership of the firm. The only thing that might come in the way is the bankruptcy laws and regulations that can protect the company for a while.

Would You Lend Money to a Country or a State?
The practice of repudiating a loan is avoided by most states and countries to maintain a civilized reputation. However there have been several instances where countries have gone out of their ways to wiggle out of paying back a debt. Argentina in 2001 got out of paying a massive debt of $220 billion during its economic crisis. A judge passed a resolution blaming the civil servant of the previous regime and the IMF for sanctioning such a loan.
Not just countries but even states in the United States have come up with peculiar reasons and justifications to get away by repudiating loans taken from the state of international organizations. The state of Arkansas has a clause in their constitution which repudiates payments of 1868 bonds. Federal courts do not cross their jurisdiction and interfere, hence creditors lose out.
