An installment contract offers a buyer less protection than a traditional mortgage. This is true mainly because of forfeiture provisions, which give the buyer no right of redemption and allow a buyer to lose all interest in the property for even the slightest breach.
An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances –such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time. Installment contracts can provide that installments are to be performed by either one or both parties .
The advantages of installment loans include flexible terms and lower interest rates. The disadvantages of installment loans include the risk of default and loss of collateral.
The CRA charges instalment interest on all late or insufficient instalment payments. Instalment interest is compounded daily at the prescribed interest rate, which can change every three months.
