How to repay the AFPSLAI personal loan?
This loan is only repaid through post-dated checks. Post-dating is accomplished by writing a check for a future date rather than the day the check was made. This is usually done with the aim that the check receiver will not cash or post the check until the future date specified. To repay your AFPSLAI personal loan, you make monthly installments for the duration of the loan until you have fully returned both the principal and the interest. Most of your monthly installments will be used to repay interest in the early years of the loan; however, as time passes, a more significant portion of your payments will be used to pay down the debt.
