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.

I am a tenant. Can I take out a long-term loan (84 to 120 months)?

70% of Belgians own property in Belgium. To the extent that a person who rents does not offer the same guarantees as a person who owns their home, their ability to borrow is limited unless there are exceptions. At CPE we generally limit a tenant's borrowing capacity to 60 months but there may be exceptions, particularly if a guarantee is agreed with the tenant. In any case, we advise you to purchase your home as interest rates on mortgage loans are historically low. Contact us in this regard.

I have several outstanding loans. Can you simplify my situation?

Yes , we recommend that you consolidate all your loans so that you only have one outstanding loan and one monthly payment. Our advisors will offer you an interest rate that will make your new monthly payment less than the sum of your current monthly payments.

Do I have to come to your offices to apply for credit?

The vast majority of credit requests are made by telephone. However, when your request is accepted, you will need to make an appointment with one of our advisors who will examine your supporting documents and give you the credit contract for signature.

I am having difficulty paying my monthly premium. What can I do ?

You must contact us immediately. We will find a solution together. Don't forget that after 2 unpaid monthly payments, your lending organization will cancel your credit contract and you will be listed with the National Bank of Belgium. In this case, you will no longer be able to borrow on the credit market.

I just got laid off. What are the consequences on my current credit?

In Belgium, we cannot postpone a payment deadline. If you have lost your job, you should contact us immediately. We can offer you a solution to settle your outstanding credit and offer you a new one. By doing so, we will already gain a deadline.

Am I required to take out death insurance?

When you borrow with another person and in the event of this person's death, you would not be able to pay the loan alone, you are strongly advised to take out death insurance in your own interest. In certain cases, the financial partner makes the granting of credit conditional on the conclusion of credit insurance.
