WHY BIWEEKLY CAN WORK

—

Before changing anything

Ask the lender whether partial payments are credited immediately and whether extra money is applied to principal. A servicer may hold partial payments until they equal one full payment, or place an account into paid-ahead status. If that happens, changing the dates alone may not create the modeled savings.
