Default is the failure to fulfill a legal or contractual obligation, such as the failure to make a required payment on a loan or mortgage. Default can have serious consequences, such as the loss of a property through foreclosure or the damage to a person's credit score. Default can also result in legal action being taken against the borrower, such as a lawsuit or a judgment.
