Installment Agreements A consumer contract or
retail installment contract is a contract that allows
a consumer to pay for a business' product or service over
time in fixed monthly installments. Installment financing
is common among businesses that offer high-ticket products
(e.g., satellite dishes, appliances, etc.) or on-going
services (e.g., dance lessons, timeshare memberships, etc.).
Our funding sources purchase consumer contracts that are
legally binding. To be legally binding, a contract should
indicate the following terms and conditions:
- Interest ate the consumer must pay
- Total amount the consumer will pay
- Length of the contract
- Amount of the monthly payment
- Applicable late charges
- Down payment received
- Cost of the product before interest
- Early payoff charges
- Date of first payment and regular payment due date
- Cancellation/refund clauses
