What is a default fee?

Not everyone has to pay a default fee. It is best to avoid paying default fees. A default fee is charged to a person’s account when there is an overdue amount for a loan or a line of credit. For example, if you do not make a repayment on loan in time for the date determined in the contract, this counts as late and will result in a default fee. The default fee is a security penalty for the lender or bank that has not received its amount.

The account is directly charged. The fee is not payable to another account but added to the interest charges on the loan. The exact amount depends on the lenders. Always look closely at your terms and services for more information about the default fee. Sometimes, the default fee is waived when there are financial hardships proven to the lender.

Although the exact amount varies, Australia’s average default fee is $150. Once you miss a repayment, though, usually an email or printed notice is left demanding a new minimum total that includes the previous repayment, current balance, and the default fee.
