Skip-A-Pay FAQs
Is there a fee for accepting the Skip-A-Pay offer?
Yes. A $35 fee will be charged for each loan payment skipped.
Which of my loans is eligible for Skip-A-Pay?
Personal and auto loans may be eligible for this service. However, several factors may cause a loan to be ineligible for Skip-A-Pay:
Your loan payment due date has already passed.
The loan is Real Estate (mortgage or home equity) or Open-Ended line of credit (VISA® and credit lines).
A Skip-A-Pay was already taken in the last 12 months.
Why can’t I skip my Credit Card or my Real Estate loan payment?
Real Estate loans and credit lines have special regulations that prevent us from offering this service
What if I don’t have the $35 fee available in my savings or checking for the payment skip?
Simply deposit or transfer funds to a savings or checking account at the credit union, or include a check when you deliver your request to the credit union.
Will I still be charged interest if my payment is skipped?
Yes, interest will accrue even though your payment is deferred.
Will the processing fee be refunded if my request is not approved?
Yes, if your request is not approved we will credit your share savings account $35.00 (if you sent a check with your request) or we will not deduct the fee from your checking or savings account (if you requested we do so).
How many times can I skip my payments?
Once every 12 months.
Which payment can I skip?
The one that is currently due. For example: If you want to skip January’s payment, you must wait until the December payment has been made.
If I do not want to skip my payment now, can I do it some other month?
