The term "Extension Period" in your payment plan basically gives you a one-day grace period if you miss your original due date. It’s like a small buffer that lets you catch up—but there’s a catch. If you use that extra day, you'll need to pay a $50 late fee along with your regular payment.
Think of it as a built-in safety net. It’s there in case something comes up and you need just a little more time.
But it’s not meant to be a long-term delay. If you don’t pay the full amount, including the $50 fee, by the end of that extra day, the agreement treats it as a default.
And depending on the terms of your contract, that could lead to more serious consequences.
So, if you’re running a day behind, you’re not totally out of luck—but make sure to get everything in by that next day to stay in good standing.
