Sure :) I can only call you if you put in a call request.

Customer
Correct. I can no longer make payments. If I stop making payments, how would it affect my credit score?
Customer
I won't request a call. We can just chat

Are you still there?

Thank you for your patience!

I can't tell you specifically how it would affect your credit - but certainly it CAN affect your credit negatively - in the same way that not paying credit card bills or any loan can affect your credit negatively.

They can send the account to collections, report it to credit bureaus, etc., which really can only have a negative effect on your credit.

You could try to have a discussion with them regarding your inability to pay - and see if they have any options for you re: repayment or selling it back to them.
