At Forest Area Federal Credit Union we understand that sometimes you may need a break with a little extra cash and breathing room on your loan payments. That’s why we off the Skip-A-Payment throughout the year so you decide when you need it the most. With FAFCU’s Skip-A-Payment, you can skip one payment per year with a $25 fee. Please note that you may only skip three payments total for the length of your loan.
