Regarding a HAMP (Home Affordable Mortgage Plan) modification, in order for your new PITA payment to be under the 31% guidelines at 2%, sometimes a portion of the balance owed is deferred to the end of the loan term. By reducing the amount of the balance you're paying as well as its interest, your payment will be under 31% of your income. The deferred amount must be payed later, you still owe it; however it accrues no interest! So a deferred principal balance is the interest FREE portion of your original loan balance. It's just pushed back to a lump sum at the end of the term.

What is deferred principal balance on a mortgage?

A deferred balance is one possible method for a borrower to modify a loan. This normally would be done if the borrower is struggling with repayments, but there is a strong prospect that the borrower's financial situation will improve in the long term. Lenders typically will not insist that a borrower already be behind on payments before agreeing to such a modification. The other part of the balance effectively becomes an interest-free loan to be paid off as a lump sum at the end of the mortgage term. The effect is that the person's monthly repayments will be lower because the amount of the principal subject to monthly payments has been reduced. Whether he winds up paying more or less overall depends on whether the loan repayment period is extended for so long that even with a reduced balance subject to interest, the total interest charged increases. A borrower who gets a deferred balance should make plans to have the cash on hand to pay off this balance when the loan period ends.

When you pay more than the minimum payment on a credit card how do you know it's going to the principal balance?

It is actually quite simple. Any amount that you pay that exceeds the finance charges and any fees included within that minimum payment goes toward the principal. In addition, 100% of the overpayment goes toward the principal balance. In other words, if you make just the minimum payment, a few bucks might go toward the principal balance. If you pay $20 above the minimum payment, all of that $20 plus a few bucks from the minimum payment go toward the principal balance. All of the overpayment goes toward principal. You can also look at the minimum payment calculation to determine how much of the minimum payment goes toward principal.
