What is the difference of an extension and a loan rewrite?

An extension is a courtesy 30-day grace period that we provide after the loan agreement due date (5th month). A loan rewrite is when the amount paid is only covering the interest of a loan contract (not the principal) if you chose to rewrite a loan, you’re paying the interest and initiating a new loan cycle for the same amount borrowed.
