How do I make payments on my Pay It Later Installment Payment Plan(s)?
The Pay It Later Installment Payment program automatically adds the required monthly payment due each billing cycle – there is no need to make a separate payment from your non-installment purchases. When you pay your minimum payment due each billing cycle, you will pay off your Installment Payment Plan balance based on the duration terms you selected. The purchase amount plus interest is divided equally over the term of the Installment Payment Plan each billing cycle. Duration terms include a 3, 6, or 12-month re-payment plan based on the term available and agreed upon by you. Depending on which duration term you choose, you understand your minimum payment may be higher than if you did not select an Installment Payment Plan.
Can I pay off one or more of my Pay It Later Installment Payment Plans early and is there a penalty?
Yes. You can pay off one or more of your Pay It Later Installment Payment Plans early without penalty. When you make a payment in the amount of the New Balance as reflected on your monthly statement, you are paying off the entire Installment Payment Plan balance for each Installment Payment Plan you have selected, including the full balance on non-installment purchases.
What happens when I make a payment that exceeds the minimum payment due?
When you make a payment that exceeds the minimum payment due as reflected on your monthly statement, the difference of the payment amount that exceeds will be applied to the highest interest rate balance first.
What happens if I dispute a purchase that is active in a Pay It Later Installment Payment Plan?
If you dispute a purchase that is in a Pay It Later Installment Payment Plan, your monthly installment amount(s) due will be suspended and will not be charged installment interest until the dispute is resolved. However, this does not suspend payments due on other non-disputed Installment Payment Plans or non-installment purchases.
- When a dispute is denied, this can result in cancelation of the Installment Payment Plan and the calculated minimum due will be based on the standard account balance.
- When a dispute is accepted and when the merchant provides you credit for the dispute, please call us at (972) 263-9497. We will credit your Installment Payment Plan.
