Interest, Fees & Charges
What is the difference between a fee and a charge? What types of fees could a consumer potentially see?
A fee can be looked at similar to a penalty. While there are no fees attached to your contract, you can be fined for late payments or a returned payment.
A charge on the other hand, is an amount that you acknowledge you are purchasing. At origination, the amount you finance is considered a charge.
There are two types of fees/penalties that can occur over the span of your contract: Late Payment Fee and Returned Payment/NSF Fee.
