We get it—life doesn’t always go according to plan. If you’re having trouble making a payment, Flexinest and our lending partners are here to help.
Step 1: Contact Your Lender ASAP
As soon as you realize you might miss a payment, reach out to your lender directly. Most lenders offer flexible options such as:
Postponing a due date
Restructuring your repayment plan
Setting up a temporary payment break
You’ll find lender contact info in your loan agreement or confirmation email.
Step 2: Explain Your Situation
Be honest and provide a brief explanation (e.g. job delay, emergency expense, etc.). The sooner you communicate, the better your options.
Step 3: Confirm New Terms
If your lender approves the postponement, make sure you understand the updated:
Due dates
Interest or fees (if any)
Payment method or schedule
Ask for written confirmation for your records.
Reminder:
Postponing a payment won’t impact your credit if done proactively and according to your agreement. Ignoring payments can lead to fees, penalties, or collection activity.
