Renewal Policy
If a client is up to date with his loan repayments, they may qualify for a second or third loan depending on the criteria as set by the loan company. The client will have to apply again and the loan provider will look at the clients profile, affordability, etc. The loan provider will then make a decision based on the rules and regulations as set by the NCR.
Implications of Non Payments
Minimum loan period 12 months Maximum loan period 60 months. Maximum APa
There should only be initial cost if your monthly debit order was unsuccessful as a result of insufficient funds or changing bank accounts without prior notice to the service provider. The service provider will try to contact the client in order to resolve the problem.
If the client can’t be found or the problem can’t be solved, it would be handed over to the internal collections department to see if a solution to the problem can be found. If an agreement can’t be reached, the lender can make use of an external collections company or an attorney.
This will lead to an increase in fees and interest. This will have a big influence on the clients credit score and it will be very difficult to get any more credit from any loan provider.
