If your loan is in good standing - or one full payment has been made - and your available credit is greater than your current minimum payment, then you may be able to refinance your loan. If you refinance your loan, then the principal amount will be rolled into a new term in which you will continue to be charged daily interest.

Loan Protection Questions

Cash Money offers a loan protection plan that provides insurance on your installment loan. Loan protection covers your loan in the event that you are unable to meet your financial obligations due to unexpected events such as loss of life, critical illness, injury or unemployment.

The cost of loan protection depends upon the amount of your loan payment. For example, a $3,500 loan with monthly payments would cost $47.25 per payment for insurance.
