Conclusion

When you request an extension with Nissan, it means that the maturity date on your account will be extended as well. It also means that you may incur additional interest on your account. If you set up automatic payments, be sure to cancel this when requesting an extension. Nissan also allows another party or person to take over your payments, in case you no longer want to continue doing business with Nissan. However, they still need to submit a credit application and get approved. Do you have further questions about requesting a payment extension? Contact Nissan Customer Support today.
