Credit agreement
An agreement under which credit, a loan, deferred payment, or another regulated credit arrangement may be provided.
Definition
A credit agreement should be checked for the parties, amount advanced, interest, fees, repayment schedule, default clauses, security, suretyship, Section 129 notices, and whether the National Credit Act applies. The document matters before anyone responds to a demand, summons, repossession threat, or debt-review issue.
