A payment due date change alters the contractual payment date to better suit your income and budget schedule. A one-time contractual due date change is available for your convenience, as long as the following qualifications have been met:
- A maximum of one due date change during the term of the contract
- At least one full payment must be posted to your account
- A due date change must bring the account current or no more than 5 days delinquent to allow for processing time
- The new payment due date cannot be more than 15 days forward from the original due date
An extension arrangement is available to customers experiencing temporary, financial hardship to defer one or more installment payments to the end of the contract term.
When a payment is deferred to the end of the contract, the scheduled contract maturity date, or final payment date, will be extended by each installment that was deferred and may result in the assessment of additional interest.

Submitting a claim:

Title Releases for electronic titles in the state of FL or OH
Customers that have an electronic title in the state of FL and OH will call Wilshire Consumer Credit to ask why they did not receive a paper title after payoff. These states default to maintaining the customer’s title in electronic format in order to decrease the chances of a lost paper title, which could result in high duplicate title fees. In order to benefit the customer, these states have opted to retain the title in its original electronic format even after payoff. Should the customer choose to print the title, they will need to request this from their corresponding state and may be subject to a transaction fee.
Florida:
http://www.flhsmv.gov/html/emt.htm
The Division of Motorist Services has implemented an electronic lien and titling system (e-title) designed to assist lienholders as well as vehicle owners.
Electronically maintaining the title to your vehicle eliminates the risk of losing it and having to pay title fees to obtain a duplicate. It is also an effective fraud deterrent because potential thieves will not have access to your title.
If the lien on your vehicle has been satisfied and the title is electronically maintained, the Department is encouraging owners to maintain their titles electronically. Customers may still request that a paper title be printed at any time. Titles are mailed to the address reflected on the owner’s motor vehicle record and are generally mailed within two (2) days of receipt of the request. To request a paper title, you may use the Division of Motorist Services website provided below to submit your request. If you wish to obtain a paper title immediately, many tax collector offices offer same day title printing for $10.00.
You do not need to request a paper title prior to trading your vehicle with a Florida dealership. If you are a dealer or lienholder, click here for E-Title frequently asked questions and common scenarios.
If you are selling your vehicle, rather than trading it with a Florida dealership, you will need to request a paper title be printed in order to transfer ownership to the purchaser.

Ohio:
The Ohio Department of Public Safety Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) implemented the Electronic lien and title program (ELT) in 2003.
The ELT program enabled the Ohio BMV and participating lenders to exchange vehicle and lien information electronically very quickly and cost efficiently. The BMV provides lienholders with electronic information regarding newly issued or updated titles as well as allowing lenders to release their interests/liens on said vehicles via an electronic message. This exchange reduced most delays involved in vehicle titling as well as lowering costs associated with processing, mailing, handling paper titles.
Current customers retaining an electronic title in the state of Ohio can proceed to perform most transactions, such as selling their vehicle to dealer or renewing their registration, while keeping their title electronic. Most dealers will ask their customer to sign a BMV 3774 form (“Application(s) for Certificate of Title to a Motor Vehicle”) to complete this transfer on their behalf.
In the event a transfer of ownership between private parties takes place (selling your vehicle to another individual), you will need to take a lien release statement, which will be sent to you by your lender upon payoff, to your county Title Office for a replacement title.
