Ahh, I see. So because one party behaves in an unsatisfactory manner that makes it ok for others to do so?

Of course people should take responsibiliy for their own actions. They take out a loan, they sign a contract, they should expect to abide by what they willingly get themselves into unless they reach a point, through no fault of their own, where they can no longer meet their obligations. Bankruptcy should be seen as a last option, not planneed for from the beginning.

I repeat my question. Who ultimately bears the brunt when borrowers can no longer meet their payments?
