Periodically reassess the loan every month, classify the debt in accordance with Circular No. 02/2013/TT-NHNN dated January 21, 2013 of the Governor of the State Bank, 65 NHNT-PC on promulgating regulations on debt collection by means of lawsuits in the Vietcombank system). After urging customers to repay the debt, adjusting the debt repayment period, extending the debt for customers but the customer still cannot repay the debt, the bank takes the following measures:
- Handling of secured assets
Send a notice of handling secured assets (property auction) to the customer and the guarantor, encouraging the customer to sell the assets themselves to pay the debt. After the time limit stated in the above notice, if the customer still cannot sell the assets, the Bank can proceed in one of the following ways:
+ Receive collateral to offset debt if the collateral can be used according to Vietcombank's business license, specifically: Real estate used is housing, assets such as cars, etc.
+ Discount for direct sale, further auction
• Hire a debt collection company
• Carry out debt sales in accordance with current regulations of Vietcombank and the State Bank on debt purchase and sale.
• Use of risk reserves
Step 6: Liquidate credit contract
When the customer pays off the debt, the Bank will compare and check the amount of principal, interest, fees... to settle the loan, liquidate the credit contract and release the loan security contracts in accordance with regulations.
In addition, for each specific lending case, Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade has also issued specific guidelines for each product.
However, there are still problems with coordination between departments in the credit granting process, with responsibilities not clearly defined in some stages (especially between Customer Relations Officers and Appraisal Officers), or the division is not appropriate, for example, credit appraisal officers both appraise credit applications and appraise
collateral, which can lead to an unbiased appraisal to increase the amount of credit granted, causing risks for the bank. In addition, each transaction office currently only arranges 1 customer officer and 1 appraisal officer, so the strong development of personal customer credit as it is now will put great pressure on credit officers, most transaction office leaders do not have much experience in credit appraisal, so it can easily lead to risks for the bank.
