Restructuring of debt is the process that occurs when a debtor is unable to pay its commitments or when both parties for various reasons, prefer to change the terms of the debt previously agreed. As in many cases it is possible or not convenient to run the debt-topping. Therefore this process is also called, often renegotiated. The same is especially common when the Debtor is a country or a large corporation: in this case it is sought to be placed in a better position to pay, either increasing your income or looking for more accessible terms for payment.
Restructuring almost always includes the modification of the maturity, causing it to remove the accumulation of debt in the short term and become consolidated these into long-term debt, the rescheduling of debt, or the change in annual amounts to pay, so they are more uniform or gradual, the change in interest and other similar clauses. It is also sometimes come to refinance debt previously contracted, which is to issue new loans, on terms more accessible to those who are paid above. In that case, when the debtor is in a critical financial situation, may also be established so-called grace periods, periods in which the debtor has time to recover before starting the new loan payments under the contract. Grace periods usually mean that during that time, no payments will be made ??to Capital but only interests.
