WARNING

  • If you do not keep up your repayments/payments, you may lose your property
  • You may have to pay penalties if you pay off a loan/financing early
  • Refinancing your loans/financing may take longer to pay off than your previous loan/financing and may result in paying more in interest/profit
  • If you do not meet the repayments/payments on your loan/financing, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access financing in the future
