Deferred payment

« Back to Glossary Index

Payment made on a date later than the date of the sale. This debt can be created when a person takes out a loan. The payment can be deferred for a certain amount of time, depending on the arrangement: in some cases, the full payment must be made on a certain date; in others, several small payments until the total amount has been satisfied. Interest generated must be added to the deferred payment.
