Official Rules
- Your account must be in good standing. This means all loans and account balances must be current and in good standing when the Skip Pay Coupon/Request is received by the credit union.
- Loan must be open for a minimum of 95 days prior to skipping loan payment.
- Limit (2) skip pays per calendar year and skipped payments cannot take place in consecutive months.
- If processing with Form, it must be signed by at least one borrower.
- Limit (8) skip pays per life of any specific loan.
- If you choose to skip your payment and your loan payment automatically transfers from your FOCUS Credit Union account, it will not transfer during that month. You will not need to do anything with your automatic transfers, except in the following circumstances:
- If you skip the payment on the day it’s due, please contact the credit union to stop the automatic transfer and for assistance advancing your due date forward.
- If you choose to skip your payment and your loan payment automatically transfers from an outside source, you’ll need to contact the automatic payment source to stop that month’s payment.
By completing a Skip-A-Payment you are requesting FOCUS Credit Union to advance the loan due date equal to one month’s payment. You understand that the current balance of the loan is extended by the amount of the payment skipped and that interest will continue to accrue on your loan balance throughout the deferred payment period, which may further extend the term of your loan. If there is more than one borrower on a loan, only one borrower is required to authorize a Skip-A-Payment request.
