BP Default is not a feeling, an opinion, or a dictionary exercise. It is a defined legal event under a loan agreement, triggered by the lender, usually via notice, acceleration or enforcement. None of that has occurred. No notice. No acceleration. No enforcement. No disclosure. That alone ends the debate.
What you are actually describing is overdue or deferred payments under a standstill or forbearance, which lenders routinely agree to when it improves recovery. That is not unusual, and it is not a default unless and until the lender declares it so.
If the lender genuinely believed they were in default, we wouldn’t be having forum arguments. We would be seeing security enforced, administrators appointed, assets seized, or at the very least a market announcement. Instead, we see continued operation and lender engagement. That tells you everything you need to know.
As for “how would a lender recover their loan?” — exactly like this: keep the asset running, stabilise production, improve cash flow, and recover principal plus interest over time rather than destroy value through premature enforcement. That is creditor 101.
You’re free to dislike the situation, or doubt the outcome, but inventing a default that hasn’t been declared is simply misinformation. Words matter, especially in finance.
If and when an actual event of default occurs, it will be formal, visible, and undisputed.
