Failure to make a timely payment on your loan or credit services transaction can have several consequences, including the following:
Financial Implications - Currently, no past due interest is assessed on any loans you may obtain from us or that we may arrange for you . However, you may be assessed a late fee if you fail to make your payment by a specified period following its due date and you may be assessed with a returned item charge if any check or electronic payment we submit on your behalf is returned unpaid (late fee and returned item fees vary by state - see your transaction agreements for additional details).
Collection Activity - We may attempt to collect any delinquent amount through our standard collection practices, which include contacting you by phone, mail, SMS or email. We may also exercise any of our rights under our loan or credit services agreements with you. If we are unable to collect any delinquent amount you may have with us through such actions, we may also sell our debt to a third party debt buyer or engage a collection agency, who may also institute collection activity with you
.
Impact on Your Credit Score - Our Installment and Title Loan payment activity are reported directly to Transunion Credit Bureau. Likewise, we also use alternative credit reporting agencies, such as the PRBC. Failure to make timely payments on your loan may reduce your score with such agencies, and prevent you from receiving credit or other services from a provider that uses such agencies.
Renewal of your Loan - We do not automatically renew any of our loans or credit services transactions. Where refinances or renewals are available (varies by state), you may obtain a refinance or renewal of your loan or credit services transaction by logging in to your account prior to your due date and applying for a renewal or refinance. In connection with any renewal or refinance, you will be required to e-sign new transaction agreements for such renewed or refinanced transaction and our standard rates for loans or credit services transactions will be assessed on such renewal or refinance (varies by state - see posted fee schedules).
