Frequently Asked Questions

Every extra payment you make lowers your principal balance and helps you pay off your past due amount much faster. Over time, you are saving on interest.

For example:

  • If you owe $3,000 and pay $50/month only, you'll pay off the $3,000 in 76 months.
  • If you pay $25 more each month, you'll pay off the $3,000 in 47 months – 29 months sooner.

Take a look and see how every “extra” dollar you pay saves you money!
