1The Winter Skip-a-Pay Program is available between 11/17/2025 – 1/28/2026 for loans disbursed by 09/30/2025 and in good standing. Requests must be submitted at least three (3) days prior to the loan due date. The "Winter Skip Period" is your next scheduled payment(s) for December or January. Number of payment(s) skipped for the period selected will vary depending on payment agreement. During the Winter Skip Period, interest and finance charges will continue to accrue on your loan(s); however, you will not be required to make your regularly scheduled payment(s) and late payment charges will not be imposed. Participating in the Winter Skip-A-Pay Program will extend the term of your loan and will increase the total amount of interest and finance charges you will pay on your loan. Your regularly scheduled payments will resume in the billing cycle following your Winter Skip Period. Additional loan eligibility criteria includes that: the loan must not be a mortgage, home equity loan, Visa credit card, new/used Beat-the-Lease auto loan or workout loan; for bi-weekly or semi-monthly payments, the loan must have two remaining payments due in the month; for weekly payments, the loan must have four remaining payments due in the month; the loan must not have delinquency in the last 60 days; and the loan minimum payment must be equal to or greater than $50.00/month. |
