Nowadays many Americans have less than stellar credit ratings. Especially in these recessionary times. And many Americans think that having a poor credit rating means they will have to drive around in clunkers they buy out of peoples’ yards or the local hunk-a-junk used car dealers; that they will forever be going to pick up the kids or pick up a date in a street-scarred jalopy held together with duct tape and picture-hanging wire. Forget about air conditioning or a CD player.

And if the state requires yearly safety inspections, the best bet is usually to drive to junkyard, sell the heap for a hundred dollars and use that toward the purchase of the next Tin Can Lizzy. Having reliable, safe, decent-looking wheels is one facet of the American dream. It is a part of the dream that too many folks with not-so-good credit think will always be denied them.

Shopping for a car can be a fun and exciting experience, but when the time comes to secure a car loan, many buyers experience a distinct drop in their enjoyment of the shopping process. This doesn’t have to be the case, however; after all, getting a great deal on a new or used car can result in a great feeling of confidence, capability, and financial stability. Avoiding common pitfalls in car loans will help any shopper refine their financing skills and obtain workable funding that won’t turn out to be a nightmare down the line. With a bit of preparation and the ability to work with patience, new car buyers can overcome car loan problems and feel great about their new purchase every step of the way.

Loans are often viewed as complicated and unpleasant necessities that are really only understood by insurance agents, brokerages, and dealers out to persuade customers to spend more money. But in reality, this is hardly the case. Car loans are, at base, simple arrangements that can sometimes become entangled in special rates, exceptions, fees, and other financing accessories. The single greatest pitfall that seekers of loans commit is focusing on the core interest rate rather than taking these accessories into account. One of the best ways to work through this issue is to hire the services of an insurance agent or broker. The service won’t be free, of course, but you can rely on a quality financing professional to sort through the language and literature of loans to give you a better sense of the deal’s bottom line. Professionals can also help you source car loans, helping you avoid potential scams and less-than-reputable loan sources. Continue reading ‘Common Pitfalls in Car Loans’ »

The Fair Debt Collections Protection Act (FDCPA) was passed by Congress in 1977. Its purpose is to protect debtors from dishonest and abusive debt collection procedures. The act is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It covers almost all types of personal debts, including mortgages, car loans, credit card debt, and medical bills.

The FDCPA limits what debt collection agencies can do in order to collect a debt. These agencies may not lie, threaten, purposefully annoy, or disclose personal information about a debtor. However, some collection agencies will view these actions as a calculated risk. Since many people don’t know their rights, bill collectors sometimes get away with these violations.

Bill collectors are not allowed to falsely represent themselves in any way. They may not claim to be lawyers or present papers as legal documents if they are not. Presenting legal documents as if they were not binding is also against the FDCPA. In addition, these companies cannot claim they will take legal action if they don’t actually intend to do so.
