    Yes.. Payment Protect pays off covered outstanding payments...so the lender gets his money back. That protects the lender.

    wow! 17.47 is very high after so many months invested. Well done!

    + Payment Protect fee
    + Interest on the fee
    – Fees paid
    – Repayments waived
    = Net Return from Payment Protect

    Thanks for the info - that's amazing. Could you post the actual $$$ value effect of Payment Protect on the loan attached if no payments were ever made? ThanksScreenHunt.jpg

    The answer your asking for is $0 I think i.e. the Lender will loose all $'s invested.

    The below from Harmoney might clarify how it works:

    What is the unfunded amount on Payment Protect loans?

    The unfunded amount is the difference between the loan amount owned by a borrower and the amount funded by lenders. Take for example a $11,000 loan that includes $1,000 Payment Protect Fee. The unfunded amount on this loan is $11,000 - $10,350 = $650. The lender only funds $10,350 ($10,000 paid to the borrower on settlement + $350 Payment Lender Protect Fees paid to Harmoney) of a total loan amount of $11,000.


    In summary:
    The borrower receives $10,000 to keep! (thank you very much suckers)
    Harmoney receive $350 as $200 sales commission + $150 management fee
    The lender lends $10,350 to pay for the above.

    If no payments are ever made the $150 management fee should be paid back (pro rata rebate at 100%), however I believe the lender would likely receive $0 as Harmoney would likely claim any pro rata rebate of the management fee for managing the default. Not sure on this one, either way the most the lender would get back is the $150 management fee...

    The key is that there isn't actually $11,000 in real money in the example above, only $10,350 (the $650 is on paper only). However, the benefit to the lender is the additional interest gained from the non existent $650 i.e. calculated on the total $11,000 - if the loan doesn't default.

    I think I have the above correct - I've not had one of these as yet - if anyone has, does the above look right?

    Added: In your loan above the management fee is (15% of $6,975 Payment Protect) $1,046.45, so the lender might get some of that back?

    Hmm, not sure, and I have a few PP loans! I thought the payment protect fee came to lenders with principal repayments together with interest thereon.

    Im unsure with pp loans but i will add this to dicussion. There seems to a difference between amount lent and
    amount got back - one would expect it to equal ? Perhaps someone more enlightened can explain ? cheers and thanks.

    I understand pp is not an insurance for the lender. But perhaps somehow we are disadvantaged by early payback of a loan ?

    But this is for a Charged-Off loan with no repayments, so no principle repayments in this case.

    I think it's simple guys. The borrower pretends to pay the lender a fee as a top up of income to be earned if the loan is fully repaid, but if the borrower successfully invokes payment protect the lender may receive none of the PP fee which was merely an additional obligation under the loan (and thus really is the last amount to be repaid when a loan goes full term). Assessing the risk of a borrower not repaying requires the lender to try to understand why the borrower wants to pay extra for PP. Apart from life and trauma cover, how many people will pay for something they don't think will ever be useful? It seems to me that PP borrowers are highlighting their potential for eventual inability to repay. Time may tell if the default experience on PP loans exceeds that on non PP loans.

    Exactly....... That is why I stopped taking them months ago.
