Quote from riskfreetrading:
What's wrong with you. It is a good thing for a borrower not to be checked. So said that you should have a credit record in the first place. The only people who like it are the lenders. It is good for the borrowers not to be checked. Does you family check your credit when you borrow from them?
And by the way the reason of the problems is not that people are defaulting, but the main reason is that debt securities have to be marked to market. The price of risk changed because of the market not because of the fundamentals.
The lenders are leveraged themselves. So, because of mark to market, they have margin calls/liquidations. And that there lays the problem. Market-to-Market, which swallows the less capitalized lenders.
