Implications of Non-Payment

If you are unable to pay on time, each lender has their own policies with regards to fees, interest, and collection of outstanding debts. Some lenders may pursue you by legal means in the event of repeated non-payment. Most will contact you by phone, letter, or email in order to rearrange payment. Non-payment may result in charges, raised interest, and may affect your credit score. Please read the charges section of the lender’s website before finalizing your loan.

Collection Practices

In the event of continued non-payment, your debt may be passed to a collection agency, which could add further charges. Please check with your lender on their collection practices.

Late Payment

If you feel that you will be unable to make your agreed repayment on the specified date, it is essential that you contact the lender in advance. The lender may offer to extend or renew your loan, which could result in additional interest being charged. Lenders may also issue a charge for late payments, with the amount differing by lender. Ensure you read the terms and conditions before entering into any loan agreement, as late repayments can negatively impact your credit file.

Renewal Policy

If you wish to renew your loan, you should contact your lender in advance. Most lenders will charge the same rate of interest and fees for another month on the entire amount owed. In the event of late or non-payment, a loan renewal/extension could be automatic, and further interest and/or charges may be added to your account. Please think carefully before extending or renewing a loan, as this could result in your repayment(s) increasing significantly.

Warning
