What is Promissory Note Disputes?

Promissory note disputes arise when a maker fails to pay according to the terms of a written promise to pay, missed installments, refusal to pay at maturity, defenses based on lack of consideration, modification, or accord and satisfaction. Notes secured by real estate, personal property, or guarantees add layers of enforcement complexity.
