EARLY FULL PREPAYMENT OF LOAN

If you pay the unpaid balance in full before the final payment is due (full prepayment) the Lender reserves the right to charge you an early repayment fee to compensate the Lender for any loss resulting from full prepayment, in accordance with section 43 of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 (“the Act”).

The early repayment fee is calculated as 30 days interest at the Annual Interest Rate less 9.0% (being the Lender’s savings for its funding costs) on the outstanding principal balance of the loan at the date of repayment.  This procedure can be expressed as the following formula:

Where:

  • ERF means early repayment fee
  • PB equals the principal balance of the loan at the date of repayment.
  • AIR means the Annual Interest Rate which is a fixed rate set out in this agreement

In the event that the period remaining on the contract is less than 30 days then number of days in the formula (currently expressed as 30 days) will be adjusted accordingly.

In addition, you will be required to pay to the Lender a “Prepayment Administration Fee” of $30.00, which represents the Lender’s average administrative costs arising from full prepayment in accordance with section 51(1)(b) of the Act.

We do not use the procedure specified regulation 9 or 11 of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Regulations 2004 to calculate our loss on early repayment.

DEFAULT INTEREST RATES

Default interest is payable in the event of a default in payment and while the default continues.   Default interest is charged from the time you fail to make a due payment until the arrears are paid. Default interest charges are calculated by multiplying the amount of arrears at the end of the day by the Daily Default Interest rate.

The Daily Default Interest rate is calculated by dividing the Annual Default Interest rate by 365 to give a daily rate. Interest is charged to your account on the 22nd day of every month.

Default interest rates range from 25%-39% and are determined according to the annual interest rate for each given loan contract.
