Borrowers Use New Loans to Manage EMIs Amid Credit and Repayment Challenges
Recent data shows 40% of borrowers seeking debt resolution use new loans or credit cards to pay existing EMIs, often due to emergencies like medical expenses or job loss. Missing an EMI can quickly impact credit scores as lenders now report repayment behavior biweekly. For home loan borrowers facing high EMIs, options include extending tenure, part-prepayment, or switching rates to manage payments, though these may affect total interest paid. Borrowers are advised to review loan terms and seek lender guidance to regain financial control.
