FAQ
If the borrower does not repay you, your legal recourse could include repossessing any collateral the borrower put up against the note, sending the debt to a collection agency, selling the promissory note (so someone else can try to collect it), or filing a lawsuit against the borrower.
Once the debt of a promissory note has been satisfied, a release of promissory note should be executed by the holder of the note. Such a document serves as the borrower's proof that the debt has been paid. This is sometimes called a release and satisfaction of promissory note.
With a mortgage, the promissory note ? or mortgage note ? is secured by the property named in the mortgage. If you don't pay, you forfeit the property to the lender. An unsecured promissory note is a legal obligation to repay a loan, but without property to secure that obligation.
Promissory Note Vs. Mortgage. A promissory note is a document between the lender and the borrower in which the borrower promises to pay back the lender, it is a separate contract from the mortgage. The mortgage is a legal document that ties or "secures" a piece of real estate to an obligation to repay money.
Even if you have the original note, it may be void if it was not written correctly. If the person you're trying to collect from didn't sign it ? and yes, this happens ? the note is void. It may also become void if it failed some other law, for example, if it was charging an illegally high rate of interest.
Enforcing a promissory note is fairly simple. Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a promissory note is proof that a debt exists. If the debtor fails to pay the debt specified in the promissory note, no other evidence of a breach of contract is necessary to enforce that debt.
When a loan changes hands, the promissory note is endorsed (signed over) to the new owner of the loan. In some cases, the note is endorsed in blank, which makes it a bearer instrument under Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code. So, any party that possesses the note has the legal authority to enforce it.
Depending on which state you live in, the statute of limitations with regard to promissory notes can vary from three to 15 years. Once the statute of limitations has ended, a creditor can no longer file a lawsuit related to the unpaid promissory note.
