Calling a Loan

Can a bank call a current loan if another loan it holds goes bad or they won't renew?


The terms of default are defined in the individual loan contract. If defaulting on another loan is there, yes they could call this loan. Similar reasons might involve the liquidity of the borrower. If one loan is in default and potential collateral may be lost, that could trigger a liquidity call. These are not common on consumer loans, but commercial loans have many ties to balance sheet numbers and the "financial health" of the borrower. Certainly if any loan is past due, a lender has reason not to renew an existing loan.
