We know that life gets in the way sometimes and managing your finances can be challenging. Here’s some information on getting back on track.
Grace period
Every loan has a grace period, a period of time after your due date in which you may incur a late fee. Review your loan statement to confirm your time frame. Note that during this time, you’ll still be accruing interest on your unpaid balance.
Late fee
If you didn’t pay by your due date and the grace period has ended, you may be assessed a late fee. The late fee depends on your loan and lender. You can find the amount in your loan statement. If you don’t pay by the next due date, you’ll be one payment behind. Missed and late payments, along with on-time payments, will be reported to the credit bureaus.
