How to postpone

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.
