# Contract Refinance

As part of a special offer to consumers, refinancing may be made available.  This is not a standard offer.  If you are interested in offering Contract Refinancing, please contact your salesperson or [uSupport ](https://home.uportal360.com/uportal360-support/)to inquire.

## Features of Refinancing

Our standard Refinancing option:

1. UGA waives any Unpaid Fees and Interest from the Principal Balance to be refinanced and performs the refinance, resulting in a lower payment for the consumer.
2. Consumer is required to enroll in AutoPay.
3. Consumer must sign New Charge, AutoPay Form and Refinance Documents  electronically.

## Process

### Eligible Contract

The Contract must be marked as eligible to be refinanced.  When the portal sees the Contract is eligible, a special notice is shown on the home screen.  The consumer will click to **Learn More**.
