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.

Choose a subsection first. Deeper term pages live inside each subsection, which keeps large topic hubs readable.

Deferment

Deferment temporarily postpones loan payments under approved conditions, with interest treatment depending on the loan type and program.

Grace and Notice Provision

A grace and notice provision gives a borrower time or formal warning before a missed obligation becomes a default.

Grace Period

A grace period is extra time after a due date or triggering event before penalties, default, or required repayment begins.

Roll-Over of Loans

Roll-over of loans extends or renews borrowing at maturity instead of requiring full repayment at the original due date.
