What happens if I miss a payment on my loan?

When an individual misses a payment on a loan with Seneca One, there are several potential consequences that may arise. First and foremost, the missed payment is likely to be reported to credit bureaus, which could negatively impact the individual’s credit score. A lower credit score can affect future financing options, as lenders often consider creditworthiness when assessing loan applications. In addition to the impact on credit scores, the lender may charge late fees. These fees can accumulate if the payment is not made promptly, resulting in a higher overall loan balance. Furthermore, Seneca One may implement collection procedures, which may include sending reminders or contacting the borrower regarding the outstanding balance. It is important to consider reaching out to the lender if a payment is missed, as they may have options such as repayment plans or temporary forbearance that can alleviate some of the immediate financial pressure. Generally, communication is key in these situations.
