What to keep in mind
Compare nominal recovery, present value, currency exposure, guarantees, payment contingencies and default remedies.
A high nominal percentage can be misleading when payment occurs many years later.
Distinctions often confused
A formal promise to pay is not equivalent to adequate security for performance.
Frequently asked questions
Should creditors compare different settlement options?
