The Importance of On-Time and In-Full Deposits in Your Beyond Finance Program
While an adjustment to your deposit schedule may be necessary if life throws you a curveball, it’s best to avoid these changes if possible.
Read on to learn the potential negative consequences of missing or lowering deposits during your program.
The Negative Effects of Lowering or Skipping Deposits
While increasing your deposits or adding extra funds can speed up progress, lowering or skipping deposits can have detrimental effects to your program.
Puts Resolution Offers at Risk
If you have active Resolution Offers, lowering your deposit can put these at risk because there may not be enough funds to make payments towards these accounts. Creditors can and often do back out of previously negotiated offers if you break the terms of the agreement.
Even if you don’t have any active Resolution Offers, missing or lowering your deposits can delay future offers.
Harms Your Eligibility for the Above Graduation Loan
While missing or reducing a deposit will not make you ineligible for the loan forever, it can set you back and delay an invitation to apply until you do have a consistent stretch of on-time, in-full deposits.
Delays Your Program Graduation
Your program timeline may not hold up if you skip or decrease your deposits. Putting less money in your account will likely delay your graduation and keep you paying down the debt for a longer period of time.
What if Adjusting Deposits Is Necessary?
