Option 2: Make your own payment schedule
1. Enter the New Due Date to determine when the first payment will be due.
2. Enter the New Amount Due for the amount of the first payment.
3. Click Add to schedule.
**** This example has a total balance of $448.80, therefore, we need to continue adding to the schedule before we can save.
Notice there is a $398.80 balance already entered in the new amount due field. This is what's remaining after adding our first amount due of $50.00 from our original amount of $448.80. You can enter a new due date and change the amount due.
1. Enter the New Due Date for the second payment.
2. Enter the New Amount Due for the second payment.
3. Click Add to schedule.
Repeat steps above until you have reached the total balance to date as $448.80. You will not be able to save until you do. See below.
(Keep in mind the amount of $448.80 is only for this example) Notice our balance to date equals our original balance of $448.80.
