Skipped Payments

Sometimes a loan (or lease) may be negotiated in which a specific set of monthly payments are going to be skipped each year. Seasonally is usually the reason for such an agreement. For example, because of heavy rainfall, a bulldozer cannot be operated in Oregon during December, January, and February, and the lessee wishes to make payments only when his machinery is being used. He will make nine payments per year, but the interest will continue to accumulate over the months in which a payment is not made.
