CONSIDER PAYING THE "SUGGESTED MONTHLY PAYMENT"
AMOUNT
This GE Capital program has a monthly "required Minimum
Payment." This provides the flexibility of a low monthly payment,
but it also means that your loan will not be paid off at the end of
the deferred-interest promotional period. If this happens, interest
accrued during the promotional period will be added to your
outstanding loan balance, and your monthly required Minimum
Payment may increase.
Also, if your monthly required Minimum Payment is received
late or you miss a scheduled payment, the deferred-interest
promotional period will immediately end, the interest accrued
during the promotional period will be added to your outstanding
loan balance, and your required Minimum Payment may increase.
As an alternative, consider paying, what SEBO calls, the
"Suggested Monthly Payment amount." Since your loan offers
deferred interest during a six or 12-month promotional period,
you need only to divide your beginning loan balance by the
number of months in the promotional period, to determine how
much money you must pay each month to pay off your loan by
the end of the promotional period.
