Pre-settlement risk occurs when a transaction is not settled and acounterparty defaults. Assuming we have an FX swap, the second leg or 'far leg' will need to be settled at a contractually fixed rate, defined at the outset of the contract. If the counterparty is in default and there is a Mark-To-Market (MTM) gain on the transaction, from your perspective, then you will not be able to realise the gain.
Say I had a contact with Lehman Bros in which the P&L gain was $10 million (in my favour) when they went bankrupt, even though the contract did not mature for another 2 years. Even though my claim is years away from settling, can I expect them to honour the contract? At the point of bankruptcy, I write off my gain as an unsatisfiable claim.

The buyer of a credit swap receives credit protection, whereas the seller of the swap guarantees the credit worthiness of the product. By doing this, the risk of default is transferred from the holder of the fixed income security to the seller of the swap. For example, the buyer of a credit swap will be entitled to the par value of the bond by the seller of the swap, should the bond default in its coupon payments.
