Auto Loan Guide

It is not intended to be exhaustive, but can save you considerable time and money on your auto loan. Primary is to ensure that you are qualified for an auto loan, you are not paying too much for the vehicle, and that your auto loan is competitive with no hidden charges or fees.
New Car Auto Loan Money Saving Tip: if the manufacturer offers additional rebates in exchange for financing through the manufacturer, take their auto loan financing.

When looking into debt consolidation, before you accept a new home loan or borrow money on your current home's equity for that debt consolidation, think objectively so you don't end up paying more for a loan than you expected or than you can afford. This loan guide highlights how to prepare and what to look for in a home loan or debt consolidation. We have also evaluated several loan sources that we believe should be included in your home loan or debt consoliation analysis activity. The broad outline for analyzing a loan should follow 6 basic steps in preparing for and analyzing any loan prior to acceptance:
- It is imperative that you know your credit rating and credit score prior to applying for a debt consolidation or home loan to ensure that you are not considered a credit risk. You can order a tri-company loan credit report (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). To save time and money order a combined 3-BUREAU CREDIT REPORT here: CreditReporting.com.
- Be cautious about using a home equity loan to consolidate credit card debt or other debt consolidation. If you destroy your credit cards upon receipt of the debt consolidation home loan, it can be justified. Most times the credit card debt starts upward once again after being paid off through a home loan based debt consolidation. Be careful, you do not fall into this trap.
- Shop around when considering debt consolidation or a home loan. Get several offers, then pick the debt consolidation or mortgage loan that's best for you; not a loan that is best for the lender or broker. You will find one of the best loan calculators here: Home Loan Calculator.
- Close your debt consolidation or home loan deal carefully. Once you've found the loan you want, make sure you get the deal you were promised.
- Know your legal rights and use them. You have a legal right to know the details of your debt consolidation or home loan: The total cost of borrowing the money (fees and interest); The annual percentage rate (APR); The number of payments and the payment amounts; How long you have to pay back the loan; and, the total amount you have borrowed in the loan.
- Report things that go wrong and get legal assistance. If you believe your debt consolidation or mortgage loan lender is dishonest, e.g. you discover fees that you weren't told about or you were required to buy credit insurance.. report it! See the Home Loan Recourse section below for contact information.

STATE
OF CALIFORNIA CONSUMER RECOURSE
|
For
general information the U.S. government publishes a great
handbook: The 2005 Consumer Action Handbook. The Handbook
features general advice on steps to take when shopping for
goods or services, along with warnings on what to watch out
for when shopping for a car or auto loan, credit, or home
loan and improvement. The Handbook also includes information
on how to solve consumer problems, as well as addresses,
telephone numbers, and websites where you can file consumer
complaints with consumer organizations, corporations, trade
associations, BBBs and government agencies at the city, county,
state and Federal level. Visit http://www.consumeraction.gov/index.shtml to
view or order the handbook.
The Consumer Credit
Protection Act of 1968—which
launched Truth in Lending disclosures—was landmark
legislation. For the first time, creditors had to state the
cost of borrowing in a common language so that you—the
California consumer—could figure out what the charges
are, compare costs, and shop for the best credit dea in California.
All forms of credit are covered; to include a auto loan or
home loan. Since 1968, credit protections in California have
multiplied rapidly. The concepts of "fair" and "equal" credit
have been written into laws that outlaw unfair discrimination
in credit transactions in California (CA); require that consumers
be told the reason when credit is denied; let borrowers find
out about their credit records; and set up a way to settle
billing disputes. If you have any concerns whatsoever over
a home loan, auto loan or any consumer complaint you can
contact the California (CA) Office of the Attorney General.
At a minimum you should visit the California Office of the
Attorney General web site: Bureau
