FAQ
Rule of 78 Explainer A greater part of your earlier repayments are being offset against the interest rather than the principal. If you continue all your repayments through to the final payment and agreed balloon or residual, the outcome should be the same for all accounting methods.
The downside of balloon payments Although a balloon-payment option can make your monthly payments more affordable, you're taking on extra debt to buy an asset that is depreciating – the value of your vehicle may end up less than the amount still owed.
Risk of Foreclosure if Unable to Make Payments The most significant risk of a balloon mortgage is foreclosure if the borrower can't make the balloon payment at the end of the term. Foreclosure can result in the loss of the home, emotional distress, and impact the borrower's credit negatively, generally for seven years.
Accounting Treatment: The balloon payment is usually recorded as a liability in the financial statements until it becomes due.
In some cases, you may be able to negotiate with your finance provider to spread the balloon payment over monthly instalments – this is essentially what refinancing is. Doing this can help make the payment more manageable and reduce the financial strain of a large lump sum payment.
The downside of balloon payments Although a balloon-payment option can make your monthly payments more affordable, you're taking on extra debt to buy an asset that is depreciating – the value of your vehicle may end up less than the amount still owed.
