Contact Townsgate and provide us information on your situation and when you will be able to resolve the delinquency.

Townsgate requires that you maintain insurance for the collateral at all times. If your insurance lapses and your payments are delinquent, we may seek recovery of the collateral. This is a serious matter. If you pay the insurance premium and provide a reasonable payment plan for the payment arrears we often place collection efforts on hold while the arrears are satisfied.

Interest is charged on a daily basis at the Annual Percentage Rate on the unpaid portion of the amount financed (Principle Balance).

An interest rate refers to the annual cost of borrowing the principal loan amount. APR is the total annual cost of a loan to a borrower, including the interest rate as well as fees and other charges that may be associated with your loan.

If you plan to trade in your vehicle or pay off your loan, please contact us to get your ’10-day payoff’ and ‘per diem’ rate. The 10-day payoff will be the dollar amount necessary to pay off your loan 10 days from the date you make the request. The per diem dollar amount will represent the dollar amount added to your payoff on a daily basis. With this information you can accurately secure the funds necessary to pay off the loan or negotiate the purchase of your replacement auto. If you trade-in your vehicle as part of a new purchase, you will sign paperwork authorizing the dealer to pay off your loan on your behalf. That paperwork does not release you from responsibility to pay off your loan, so we recommend that you follow up after your purchase to confirm that we receive the loan payoff in a timely manner.
