However, this is on the presumption that you will resume paying the amounts after the deferment period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Different lenders have different deferment periods and procedures for activating it. Some might already have a <strong>deferment option written into your loan contract<\/strong>, while others may need you to <strong>send in written proof of hardship<\/strong>. Either way, do not consider deferment lightly, as you will still have to repay the skipped payments in the subsequent months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The deferred amounts are added to the total balance to be repaid, and you will <strong>still continue to accrue interest on the loan<\/strong> throughout your term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ewa-rteLine\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Can_I_Defer_a_Payment\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">When Can I Defer a Payment?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can choose to defer payment on a car loan when you feel that your cash flow\/income is going to be strained in the coming month.
