    General

    I received a letter or email from Exeter, but I don’t have an Exeter account. What should I do?

We’re obligated to send you the letter you received as a follow-up. If you want additional information, please follow the instructions in the letter. If the letter references another topic, call (800) 321-9637 for assistance.

    General

    If I have to sign an extension, when does it expire?

    The extension form delivered to you by Exeter expires in ten (10) days from the Date of the Notice. If you do not return the signed contract before the end of the ten days, the extension will not be processed.

    General

    If I make a payment on my account, will Exeter send me a revised 1099-C?

    No. Under applicable law, Exeter is not required to file a revised 1099-C. Please consult your tax advisor or the IRS to determine the effect of any subsequent payments on your tax liability relating to the discharge of this indebtedness.​

    General

    If I received a 1099-C, does this mean that I don’t owe a balance on my account?

    Not necessarily. Unless our contract with you specifically provides that we will not seek to recover a deficiency from you, the filing of the 1099-C simply reflects that Exeter has discontinued any further collection activity on this account.​

    General

    May I request a payment extension?

    Yes, to verify if your account is eligible, call (800) 321-9637.

    General

    General

    Who’s responsible for insurance or GAP coverage?

    The Buyer and Co-Buyer assume full responsibility for extending such insurance and/or GAP coverage.​

    General

    Why did I receive a 1099-C?

    The IRS requires us to file Form 1099-C, “Cancellation of Debt,” because we discharged a debt you owed of $600 or more. For more information, contact the IRS or consult your tax advisor.​

    General

    Will the extension have any impact on my account/contract?

    Yes. The extension of the payment(s) will impact your original term. For example, if you have a 60-month term and receive a two-month extension, your term will now expire at the end of the 62nd month, not after the 60th month. However, the terms and provisions of the contract, except as herein modified, remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein by reference.​

    General

    Will the extension impact my insurance or GAP coverage?

    Yes. Please be aware that the extension of your payments does not include the extension of insurance and/or GAP coverage, if any, where a separate charge was included in the contract. For example, if you are in possession of a GAP product that originally covered your terms (i.e., 60 months) and receive a two-month extension, anything after the 60-month term is not covered under the GAP contract.​

    Payments

    I see my payment pending online, but I keep getting collection calls from Exeter.

    It is possible for there to be a brief period of time between payment and recognition of the payment within our systems, which could trigger a collection call. If this happens, tell the Customer Service representative that you have already paid and your account will be handled appropriately.

    Payments

    May I request a payment extension?

    Yes, to verify if your account is eligible, call (800) 321-9637.​ To understand how it will affect your loan, note interest will continue to be earned during the deferral period, meaning future payments could also have more of your payment going toward interest and less toward your principal balance leading to a larger balance being owed at maturity. This option should be reserved for significant financial challenges or emergencies. Contact our customer support team for assistance.

    Payments

    Payment cutoff times

    Your payments are first applied to the interest that has accrued since the last payment was received. Any remaining amount will be applied towards your principal balance then any outstanding fees based on the status of your account. If you pay more than what is currently due, any remainder will be applied towards future payments. Paying ahead is permissible, and will be applied using the above payment allocation. If you would like a different payment allocation, please contact us at 800 321-9637.
