How is a mortgage repayment considered overdue?
Recently, the issue of overdue mortgage repayments has become a hot topic, with many home buyers falling into overdue difficulties due to insufficient understanding of repayment rules. This article will combine the hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to analyze in detail the definition, calculation method and consequences of overdue mortgages, and provide structured data to help readers understand clearly.
1. Definition of mortgage overdue
Overdue mortgage means that the borrower fails to repay the principal and interest in full on the repayment date stipulated in the contract. Banks usually have a grace period (1-3 days), but if the loan is not repaid after the grace period, it is considered officially overdue.
| overdue stage | time range | bank processing |
|---|---|---|
| within grace period | 1-3 days after the repayment date | No overdue charges will be recorded and no penalty interest will be charged. |
| slightly overdue | Exceeds the grace period but ≤30 days | Charge penalty interest and report to credit report |
| Seriously overdue | >30 days | Collection and legal litigation risks |
2. Calculation method of overdue penalty interest
Overdue penalty interest is usually calculated at 1.3-1.5 times the interest rate agreed in the contract. The standards of different banks are as follows:
| Bank name | Penalty interest rate (times) | Calculate base |
|---|---|---|
| ICBC | 1.5 times | remaining principal |
| China Construction Bank | 1.3 times | Amount payable in the current period |
| China Merchants Bank | 1.4 times | Overdue principal and interest |
Example: If 5,000 yuan is due in the current period and is overdue for 10 days, the penalty interest rate is 1.5 times (annual interest rate 5%), then the penalty interest = 5000 × 5% ÷ 360 × 10 × 1.5 ≈ 10.42 yuan.
3. Impact of overdue
1.Credit record:The central bank’s credit reporting system will record overdue information, which will affect future loan applications.
2.Legal risks:If the loan is overdue for 3 consecutive months or 6 times in total, the bank may withdraw the loan in advance or sue.
3.Additional fees:Including penalty interest, collection fees, etc.
4. Suggestions for avoiding overdue dates
1. Set up automatic repayment and ensure that the account balance is sufficient.
2. Pay attention to bank repayment reminders (SMS/APP notifications).
3. When encountering financial difficulties, promptly negotiate with the bank for extension.
