What you need to know about confessions of judgment

Many banks and lending institutions in Illinois incorporate confession-of-judgment clauses into their form promissory notes and guaranties. Many of these forms actually violate the law.  If a customer defaults on such a loan, the confession-of-judgment clause allows the lender to take a judgment against the borrower without notice or a hearing.

These agreements often blindside unsuspecting borrowers, who never knew the contract contained a confession-of-judgment clause. By the time many of these victims figure out what to do, the lender has already seized their assets and has started to liquidate them!
