Liens
on Shares and Right of Offset
(During and Apart from Bankruptcy)
A NorthLegal Webinar
May 29, 2008 at 10:00 a.m., PDT

It's
one of the most common questions credit union bankruptcy analysts
ask their lawyers: "May we take (or may we "freeze")
a member's shares if the member isn't paying or files bankruptcy?"
And
it's one of those questions for which a simple answer just
won't work. Sometimes you can, and sometimes you can't. It
has to do with, among other things, whether the member is
in default, whether the member is in bankruptcy, whether
the credit union is state or federally chartered, what type
of credit obligation (credit card, auto deficiency, real
estate) is involved, and the source of the funds in the account.
|
But the rules
aren't hard to learn for those who will try, and a
credit union that understands the
source and limitations on its right to apply a member's shares
ot the member's loan balance has a valuable recovery tool. A
credit union that applies shares without understanding those rules
runs a serious risk of loss.

Do
you know that your credit agreements should have two
separate "lien
on shares" clauses? Tune in May 29 to find out more! |
On Thursday, May 29, credit union attorney Eric North will meet
online with credit unions to discuss the details you need to know in
order to make the most of your rights with respect to deposit accounts. During
this program, you will learn:
| • |
What
the differences are between a right of offset, a statutory lien,
and a contractual lien on shares, and what your legal authority
for each of those rights is. |
| • |
Why
just claiming a lien interest in shares to cover a real-property
secured loan can cause a credit union big losses. |
| • |
What special rules apply to offsetting shares against
credit cards. |
• |
What
language the NCUA wants federal credit unions to have in their
credit agreements regarding liens, and why state credit unions
should pay attention. |
| • |
What
language commonly found in most credit union agreements may be
considered deceitful by courts. |
and much more!
