It’s getting towards the end of the month and you’re short on money. It could be your mortgage, your car, or a credit card payment that’s going to get the squeeze. What do you do?
As a general rule, most lenders don’t take collections action until a payment is at least five days overdue, which allows for any mailing snafus. And in most cases, a lender is not likely to repossess your car after one missed payment. After all, he doesn’t want your car; he wants the money you owe him.
There are two things you should know if you are ever in this situation:
1. If you have to miss a payment, call and try to negotiate a new due date. Your car may not be repossessed after one missed payment, but your credit may take a hit.
