THE DETAILS THAT CHANGE YOUR DECISION
Three checks before proceeding
Protect essentials
Keep housing, food, utilities, current debts and a reserve in the budget.
Check the dates
Match each due date with when income becomes usable. A monthly surplus can still hide a shortfall on a particular day.
Keep the full cost
A longer term may ease the payment and increase total interest. Compare both before choosing.
WORK WITH YOUR OWN TERMS

THE DETAILS THAT CHANGE YOUR DECISION
If a payment becomes difficult
Keep the correct contact
Payment and account questions belong with the lender or servicer named in the agreement.
Consider another route
Ask a biller about an arrangement or a credit union about an appropriate small-dollar option before replacing one unaffordable payment with another.
