Terms and Conditions

    Types of loans eligible for this Skip-A-Payment offer include auto, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, and personal loans.

    A $50 processing fee is required. Loans must be current with six previous successful payments. Only one Skip-A-Payment is allowed in a rolling six-month period, with a maximum of six skips during the term of the loan. Interest will continue to accrue daily at the annual percentage rate set forth in your loan agreement, both during and after the deferred period. Your next monthly payment will include the interest accrued from the skipped month. The skipped payment may result in paying additional interest over the life of the loan, and a larger final payment. Your next loan payment will be due one month after the deferred payment due date. If you have EZ Pay with an automatic recurring payment from another financial institution, your requested Skip-A-Payment must be received at least five business days prior to the due date to stop the automatic payment from being processed. If you have purchased Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) this may adversely impact any future GAP claims. Please review your GAP contract for more information. If your auto loan is a Lease Like loan you promise to pay the skipped payment at least 60 days prior to the maturity date so that the residual value is not affected. Please review the Addendum to your Retail Installment Sale Agreement for more information.

    In all other respects, all terms, provisions and conditions of the original note shall remain in full force and effect. Failure by the Debtor to make any payment, or to comply with any other provision of this Agreement or of said note as changed here, shall constitute a breach of condition for which the unpaid balance of the note debt shall, at the option of GFA Credit Union or its assigns become due and payable immediately, and may be enforced or recovered together with the interest and other lawful charges as provided by law.
