A South Carolina Affidavit of Default is a document used to notify a debtor of a default on a loan. It is typically sent by the lender when the borrower has failed to make payments or has breached the loan agreement in some other way. The affidavit is a sworn statement, signed by the lender or an officer of the lender, that states the facts regarding the default. There are two types of South Carolina Affidavit of Default: general and specific. A general affidavit is used when a debtor has failed to make a payment or otherwise breached the loan agreement in a general way. A specific affidavit is used for more detailed information regarding the default, such as the exact dates and terms of the loan agreement. Both types of affidavit must be filed with the appropriate court and served on the debtor before any legal action can be taken.
