Missing an EMI can be stressful, but it's not the end of your financial stability. Whether it’s due to a salary delay, emergency expense, or sudden job loss—what matters is how you respond, not just what caused the delay.
With Vizzve Finance, you can turn a missed EMI into a learning step—without falling into a debt trap.
What Happens If You Miss an EMI?
⏳ Short-Term Impact:
Late fee or penalty (usually 1–3% of EMI)
Negative mark on your repayment record
📉 Long-Term Impact:
Drop in your credit score
Difficulty in getting future loans or credit cards
Legal action in extreme cases (multiple defaults)
Step-by-Step: What You Should Do Immediately
✅ 1. Don’t Ignore the Problem—Acknowledge It
The worst thing to do is avoid calls or emails from your lender. Communicate quickly.
📲 Vizzve Tip: Use the “Raise Delay Reason” option in the Vizzve app to notify and negotiate with your lender before the EMI hits.
✅ 2. Check the Grace Period
Some lenders offer a grace period of 3–10 days where no late fee is charged if you pay within that time.
🧠 Vizzve Insight: Use our EMI Calendar Tool to check if you’re within the safe zone before fees apply.
✅ 3. Request for a One-Time Reschedule
If this is a one-time issue, ask for a due-date extension or deferral.
📄 Vizzve Tool: Submit a “One EMI Postpone Request” directly in the app—with auto-generated documentation to support your case.
✅ 4. Consider Loan Restructuring
For longer-term cash flow issues (job loss, medical emergency), request a restructured EMI plan with lower payments over a longer period.
📊 Vizzve Assist: Use our EMI Restructuring Simulator to estimate your new monthly obligations instantly.
✅ 5. Avoid Taking Another Loan to Repay This One
It might feel tempting to take a second loan to repay the first, but this can trigger a debt spiral.
🚫 Vizzve Warning: Avoid this unless you’re switching to a lower-interest consolidation loan, which we can help assess for you.
