What happens when you do not pay a home equity loan?

Answer by  shari (52)

A home equity loan is a type of mortgage obligation. Your home is at risk, just like if you were not paying your mortgage. The mortgage company could foreclose on your home, even though the obligation is probably much less than the primary mortgage.

Your credit score is going to crap if you do not pay or are delinquent on payments. But the big worry is that on a home equity loan, your house is the collateral, which means they (the bank) can take possession of your property if you do not pay.
