Negative Amortization

Negative Amortization
When principal due in a loan increases with time instead of decreasing or amortizing, it is termed negative amortization. May happen when monthly repayments do not adequately cover the entire amount needed to reduce principal balance. The outstanding principal is added with the unpaid interest that needs to be included in future repayments.
