When I got my auto, I had good credit, interest rates were low-6.9% Now my credit isnt good, I relied on credit cards to help me out & I am going to get approved for auto loan, but the int. rate is 17.9%. How long after improving my credit will it take to get a good score again? Could I refinance my auto loan in 3 months if I pay down on cards (I’m owed quite a bit of money for being a subcontractor–just not sure "when" it’s going to be paid). If everyone paid what they owe me today, I’d be ,000.00 better off, and I’d have my credit cards at zero balance. However, I do need a reliable vehicle to get to and from work, and this new one would ensure no worries (w/ optional extended warranty) If I keep driving the vehicle I have now & any unexpected repairs are needed, I may be putting money into it along with monthly payments. I plan on paying off new one in 14 months. But the interest on that would be ,000. Pay off ,000 loan in 1 year, or go w/ new loan/safety of auto??
I’m really trying to get in control of my finances. I’ve had to depend on credit cards for things like food and toiletries. I never used them for anything other than for survival.
They’re all maxed now and at ridiculous interest rates as high as 29%. I barely make the minimum payments and so I’m never really paying anything off, just getting deeper in debt. I’ve seriously been considering debt consolidation, but I’m so fearful of getting screwed over and that is the LAST thing I need. I was wondering if you had any advice or knew of anyone reputable.
I have 3 different credit cards that now have over 20% interest rates because I was late on one payment. I have heard that Christian debt consolidation might be a better option than regular, but I want to make sure I select a company that is reputable.
i bought my car at the end of april 2008. i put down ,000 and i owe 00. my current interest rate 11.89%. my credit union’s auto refinancing rates are 3.99%-7.99%. since i’ve only had my car for 3 months, is it possible to refinance? my original loan is through bank of america.
i was not a member of this credit union when i bought my car…..in fact, i had never heard of this credit union until about a month ago. there is only 1 other credit union in my area, and their interest rates were almost the same as the interest rate i have.
when i go online to fill out refinance forms they ask the total amount owed on car wich includes the interest rates for the next four years.
I dont want to pay the apr for next four years I want a loan to pay off the core cost of the vehicle.
