Schedule I- Curtailment Deferral Plan






In an effort to assist customers who are experiencing cash flow issues due to the impact of COVID-19, AFC will be offering a Curtailment Deferral Plan.  Effective March 23, 2020, any vehicles due for curtailment from March 16, 2020 through May 31, 2020 may be curtailed with the payment for principal, fees, and interest deferred until each customer’s first contracted curtailment following May 31, 2020 (all deferred amounts will be due on such Curtailment Date).  


The following guidelines are in place:
•    Dealers will have the ability to make a payment against principal if they so choose
•    Sold units are still required to be paid according to current policy
		
	•
	Units due for payment prior to March 16, 2020 or that are currently past due are not eligible


		
	•
	Any vehicles being requested for additional curtailments outside of contracted terms will require Regional Director approval


•          No fees, including curtailment fees, are being waived
•    Dealers will not be eligible if: 
o    they have sold out of trust (SOT) units;
o    they have repo units; or
o    if AFC has taken legal action against them
