Usually not. Most if not all loan agreements require you to pay on time each and every month. Usually, some loan companies will give you 10 to 12 days after oyur due to date before late charges set in. If you think you may miss a payment call your loan company to work something out. You can make two payments the next month, pay as soon as possible, or whatever. Usually creditors will work with you if you may miss. Don't abuse any privileges you may be given though, as your contract can be revoked if you're late too many times, and your property, if any, repoed. If you find you may be late on a certain time of the month, consider having your due date changed. Remember, loan companies want to work with you because your business to them as they benefit from the interest fees. Most business will only take so much from a consumer who can't pay, so be careful.

Can a co-signer call for payment in full if the loan is not being paid?
The co-signer has no inherent authority to "call for" the payment in full of the loan. If the primary borrower is missing payments it is likely they cannot afford to repay the loan. In fact, if payments are being missed by the primary borrower the co-signer's responsibility will kick in and the lender will go after the co-signer for full payment of the loan.The co-signer has no inherent authority to "call for" the payment in full of the loan.

When a loan is obtained the consumer generally keeps the entire amount of the loan for specific period of time and pays back the loan amount plus the interest at the end of the loan period?
The way most loans work is you are given a specified amount of money (or credit) available to make purchases with. You are also charged a specified interest rate, which may be fixed or variable. If the terms of the loan have a grace period, there is a set amount of time that you do not have to make payments on the loan; however, interest is often accumulating during this grace period. After you have received the money, and after the grace period is over, you will have to start paying back the loan in small payments. The payment amount will be based on how much you borrowed, what the interest rate is and how long you will take to pay back the loan.

What is a loan holiday for term loans?
A loan holiday is some period of time (e.g., one payment period, two payment periods, etc.) where the borrower is not required to make a payment and will not be penalized as a result. For most loans, a holiday will not stop the loan from accruing interest, so when using a loan holiday, remember, you are paying additional interest for the privilege.
If you have bought a car from an individual and signed a note with a payment date of the 15th of each month do you by law have a grace period?
