Save a copy of the credit agreement
Retain a copy of the credit agreement as soon as you sign or agree to it. You may need to review it later to:
- Repay the loan early
- Cancel an optional product
Cancel or repay the loan
Some loans, including payday and high-cost credit loans, have a one- or two-day 'cooling off' period in which you can cancel and repay the loan without any penalty.
Consider paying off some or all the loan early if you have the means. Except for mortgage loans, you have the right to repay a loan before it is due without penalty.
