Real Stories, Real Impact
Existing Options for Borrowers in Default vs Repayment Options
Options for Past due or soon to mature Loans
The Amnesty Relief offer is available for the full repayment of loans with large arrears. Borrowers and their sureties are asked to contact the Collections Unit about the terms of this offer which is subject to management’s approval.
Amnesty – is applicable where the stipulated repayment period has expired and the loan has an outstanding account balance that is due and payable.
Options for Recent Defaulters
Deferments, Graduated Payment plans and Forbearance are available to those persons who are experiencing difficulty making monthly loan payments. These plans once approved are reviewed on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. They are as follows:
Deferment allows borrowers who are not in default and who provide credible evidence of further study, economic hardship or unemployment to pay the interest only part of their monthly installment for a specified period. Persons in arrears are not eligible for a deferment.
Forbearance allows borrowers who are in arrears and/or unable to make regular/full loan payments to pay the principal part of the loan installment for a short period.
Graduated payment plans allows borrowers in arrears to pay a lower monthly installment for a specified period. Subsequent incremental increases thereafter ensure the repayment of your loan within the payback period.
The Collection Officers will work with each borrower to determine the best option available.

I have been made redundant and have been having problems making my payment deadlines, what should I do?
Contact the Collections Unit and an officer will work out a plan that is beneficial to all parties involved. Once a plan has been put in place you will not be charged a late fee unless you deviate from the agreement. Also note that payment plans are designed based on the individual situation. Contact
If I am unemployed will my sureties be asked to pay the loan?
Sureties guarantee that they will pay if the borrower fails to repay the loan. Sureties are therefore informed of any default and required to make payments towards the full installment or the monthly interest portion of the loan. If you find yourself unemployed or otherwise unable to meet your obligations as agreed please contact a Collections Officer ASAP.
If I get an opportunity to work overseas, what should I do?
The Loan Agreement makes it clear that the student is bonded to remain in/return to Barbados and work for a period equal to the course of study or a period of not less than 1 year. The first step would be to notify your Loans Officer of the opportunity and be prepared to submit supporting documentation e.g., a job offer letter. This documentation must be accompanied by a letter requesting permission from the Management Committee to be released from the obligation and to accept the job offer. The letter should also outline the provisions you intend to make for servicing of the account.
