Best to call, ask for a compromise/discounted amount. They are not that hard to talk to. Ang matagal lang yung clearance, lalo na pag pumasok na sa collection/recovery department nila.
Afaik, only home mortgages have a survivor insurance wherein if the principal dies the heirs/spouse will no longer have to pay the remaining loan amount. Car loans and other types of loans do not have this insurance. The heirs will need to pay in full if they want to inherit the property that is mortgaged.
Pag buhay pa yung principal at nakakabayad pa then that means the borrower is in good standing with the bank, walang kaso yan. Pag hindi nakabayad (like in my case kasi nga binale-wala ko yung notice ng annual fees thinking that since i was not using the cc e walang issue, turns out meron, dapat pala sinurrender ko yung cc) then bad standing ka and you need to talk to your bank to return your status to good.
