What to Check

Check the promissory note or loan agreement, borrower eligibility, principal, rate, APR, fee schedule, maturity, amortization method, repayment term, covenant, disclosure, and underwriting file.

Common Mistakes

  • Comparing loans only by stated interest rate instead of APR, fees, term, and repayment schedule.
  • Ignoring whether credit is open-end, revolving, installment, secured, or committed.
  • Treating eligibility for a program as proof of suitability or affordability.
  • Using loan labels without checking the actual borrower obligation.

Recontracting

One common mathematical approach involves calculating the Net Present Value (NPV) of new debt terms.

To reschedule debt is to change the timing of required payments, often by extending maturity or revising installment dates.
