Can I extend my loan due to an emergency?

Overview

Unfortunately, loan terms cannot be extended beyond what is stated in your promissory note. However, if you're facing temporary financial difficulty and are unable to make a payment, we may be able to help with alternative payment options.

What to Do If You Can’t Make a Payment

✔ Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your situation.
✔ We may be able to offer loan assistance options to help you avoid additional fees or penalties.

Alternative Options to Stay on Track

✔ Pay by Your Due Date – Your account becomes past due the day after your scheduled due date. Even if a late fee has not yet been applied, additional interest begins  accruing on unpaid amounts after the due date. This may result in a higher final payment than shown in the amortization schedule provided at loan origination.
✔ Partial Payments – You may be able to make multiple smaller payments before your due date.
✔ Loan Assistance – If eligible, you may qualify for a temporary assistance plan designed to help you manage payments during a short-term financial challenge.

Next Steps

If you’re concerned about making a payment, don’t wait. Contact our customer support team before your due date so we can review your options with you.
