Missed EMI alert on phone – stress and confusion about next steps

Myths vs. Reality: What Actually Happens When You Miss an EMI

Vizzve Admin

Missing an EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) can be scary. But it’s even scarier when you’re operating based on myths and panic, not facts.

Let’s set the record straight—and show you how Vizzve Finance helps you handle bumps without breaking your future.

**Myth 1: “One Missed EMI Will Destroy My Credit Score”

Reality: A single missed EMI may impact your credit score slightly, but not destroy it—especially if it’s your first delay and you pay it within a few days.

What matters more is how quickly you resolve it.

Myth 2: “I’ll Get Harassed by Recovery Agents Immediately”

Reality: No lender starts calling recovery agents on day one. You’ll usually get polite reminders via SMS, email, or call. Legal recovery action takes weeks or months, and only in cases of wilful default.

Myth 3: “I Can Just Ignore It and It’ll Go Away”

Reality: Ignoring the EMI only makes it worse. Late fees pile up, your credit score drops, and lenders might flag your profile as high-risk. Communication is key—inform your lender immediately.

Myth 4: “My Future Loans Are Gone Forever”

Reality: You can recover your creditworthiness. Many people bounce back after missed payments. What matters is your intent and corrective action—which lenders like Vizzve actively consider.

Reality Check: What Actually Happens When You Miss an EMI

Day 1–7: Gentle reminders, no penalty yet (depending on lender)

Day 8–30: Late fee + small dip in credit score

Day 30+: EMI marked as overdue in credit reports

Day 60–90: Account may be classified as NPA (Non-performing Asset)

Beyond 90 days: Risk of legal notice, asset recovery for secured loans
