Extended payment is not the same as fee-only renewal
CFPB describes an extended repayment plan as a way to repay a payday loan in smaller installments over a longer period, while rollover can mean paying a fee just to delay the same principal. Payday Hex keeps these actions separate. CFPB_CANT CFPB_ROLLOVER
State rules vary materially
CFPB’s 2022 market snapshot documented different state EPP structures, including differences in number of installments, plan length, fees, eligibility and frequency of use. Because those rules can change, Payday Hex does not treat the 2022 table as current law; launch output must be refreshed from the state’s present statute/regulator. CFPB_EPP
Request timing can matter
The checker asks for the due date because some programs or lender policies may require action before default or within a specified window. Unknown timing is shown as “contact lender/regulator now,” not guessed.
The goal is to retire the balance
The payment planner shows declining principal under a real repayment plan and compares it with a fee-only rollover path, making it clear which action is actually paying down the debt.
