Loan Repayment Guide: Tips to Avoid Missed Payments

Managing a loan responsibly starts with understanding your repayment schedule and planning payments ahead of time. Knowing your due dates, total amount payable, and verified payment channels can help you manage repayments and reduce the risk of missed payments or avoidable charges.

1. Understanding Your Loan Repayment

Know Your Due Date

Check your repayment schedule through your official loan agreement or lender app. Set reminders before the due date so you have enough time to prepare and complete your payment.

Understand the Amount You Need to Pay

Review the applicable interest, fees, total amount payable, repayment schedule, and any late-payment charges before accepting a loan. Pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act (R.A. 3765), all applicable fees and finance charges are fully disclosed in your Disclosure Statement prior to loan consummation. Your actual terms may vary depending on the loan product and your eligibility.

Use Verified Payment Channels

Make repayments only through payment methods that can be verified through MabilisCash's official app or website (e.g., official payment reference numbers for GCash, Maya, 7-Eleven, or partner banks). Never transfer funds to personal bank accounts, personal e-wallets, or unverified third parties. If a payment request looks unusual, check the official Anti-Fraud guidance before sending money.

2. Tips to Avoid Missed Payments

Set Payment Reminders

Use your phone calendar, alarm, or banking app to track upcoming payments. Setting reminders ahead of the due date gives you time to prepare the required amount.

Include Loan Payments in Your Budget

Treat your repayment as part of your regular expenses. Set aside the required amount in advance while considering your other essential financial commitments.

Check Your Payment Status

After making a payment, check the lender's official app or account records to confirm that the payment has been posted, and keep the transaction receipt or reference number. Common payment-posting questions are also covered in the FAQ.

3. What to Do If You May Miss a Payment

Contact Customer Support Early

If you anticipate repayment difficulties due to unexpected financial challenges, please reach out to our Customer Support team as early as possible. Contacting us early allows us to discuss your account and explore possible assistance options or flexible arrangements that may apply under company policies.

Review Applicable Charges

Check your loan agreement and applicable disclosures to understand any late-payment charges, repayment obligations, or other consequences that may apply if a payment is missed.

Do not rely on individuals or accounts that cannot be verified through the lender's official channels and that claim they can modify, settle, waive, or restructure your loan.

Keep Your Payment Records

Save receipts, transaction references, screenshots, and relevant support conversations. These records can help if you need to resolve a payment-related concern.
