@Don KonipolSo we have a short term loan with someone and as part of the loan they paid all the interest upfront (12 month loan), loan is maturing and they have extension options (for a fee) - they asked about the extensions and we said it was X amount for the extension and you would also start paying the monthly interest as well.They flipped out and am like what do you mean I have to pay interest ?
