Are there any regulatory concerns regarding the extension of a payment on a consumer purpose simple interest loan such as the number of extensions, the frequency of extensions or any other aspect?

This question arises as a result of a lender who grants frequent payment extensions for his customers. Typically, when a payment is extended, the interest is required to paid to the extension date and the maturity is also extended to avoid a large payment at maturity.

Your regulator may view this as a way to conceal under-performing loans--especially if the borrowers initiate the extension requests or the lender only solicits accounts that are past due.
