D.1 Introduction
Account Acceleration is a provision that allows a lender to insist a borrower to repay all or a part of an outstanding loan prior to the scheduled maturity date, when the borrower is identified to be fraudulent. An acceleration clause outlines the probable reason(s) for the lender to accelerate a loan account and demand loan repayment.
Accordingly in OFSLL, a fraudulent account can be accelerated by moving the maturity date up to the date of the demand for full payment which can either be the current date or a back date, but not a future date. In case of a back dated acceleration, back date cannot be scheduled beyond the contract date or account back date whichever is higher. Reversal of an account acceleration is also allowed to reinstate the account to its previous status.
