 TITLE: How Many Car Payments Can You Defer? CONTENT: Can You Defer Your Auto Loan Payments More than Once?\n-----------------------------------------------------\nThe number of times you can defer your car payment depends on your lender. If you're considering applying for deferment, ask the lender if this is your only opportunity to do so, or if you can defer payments more than once.\nKeep in mind if you don't receive deferment and you miss a payment, your loan may move to default after as little as 30 days and your car could be at risk for repossession. Most lenders don't rush to repossess a car right away because the process costs them money—they would rather you make good on your loan and keep your car. If you have a history of late payments on your account, a poor credit score or other signs of ongoing financial difficulties, lenders may be more likely to act quickly. END
