I took out a loan with my husband. We are divorcing, what are the consequences on my current credit?

Your divorce has no effect on your contract agreement. The ex-spouses both remain jointly and indivisible liable for the amounts borrowed.

Can I take into account my investments, my securities, term or savings accounts to borrow?

Yes, the assets placed in securities, savings, term or deposit accounts can be taken into account to assess your contributory capacity.

I already have a current loan. Can I get additional credit?

Yes. Our advisors settle your current loan and offer you a new loan with the desired addition.

At what age can I take out a loan?

You must be at least 18 years old.

What are the consequences of failing to repay my loan?

If you do not pay two monthly payments, your lending organization has a legal obligation to cancel your credit contract and request your registration from the National Bank of Belgium. In this case, you will no longer be able to borrow on the credit market until your dispute is resolved.

What are “conditions precedent”?

These are clauses indicated in the sales agreement which condition the birth of the legal effects of the loan / mortgage credit contract on the fulfillment of one or more conditions stipulated concretely in the notarial deed. The condition being in this case obtaining the agreement of the bank. It is therefore above all a protection for the future buyer in the event that his credit request is refused by the banking organization. Thus, when you sign your sales agreement, it will be subject to the suspensive condition that you obtain your loan/mortgage credit within the time limit set when signing the sales agreement before the notary or with the real estate agency. Concretely, this means that if you do not obtain your loan / mortgage credit within the agreed deadline, it is void (cancelled) unless you obtain an extension of the deadline to obtain your loan / mortgage credit. In this case, things are returned to their original state and each party to the sales agreement is released from their obligations. The seller could thus agree to sell his property to another candidate buyer who would sign a new notarized sales agreement. At Crédit Populaire Européen, we are committed to giving you a quick response so that you can notify the seller as quickly as possible.

My application for credit has been denied. How long do I have to wait to reapply?
