Want to know how finance companies lie with figures and cheat their customers?

June 5th, 2010

It is all quite legal and here is a an actaual example from to day’s newspaper, typical of most of them. They simply exploit people’s ignorance of the rules of rounding:

A major finance company advertises that its lending rate is 8.4% APR and their accompanying table shows that for a loan of £10,000 over 120 months you would pay £122.05 per month,

If you calculate the true interest rate for these payments, you will find it is 8.447%. Of course in law, the company cannot be accused of telling lies, because to the first decimal place, the interest rate they are quoting is correct.
I note that some people misunderstood my point which is this: Since the true l interest charged is 8.447%, they should not be allowed to call it 8.4%

Does anyone know anything about old debts and bill collector laws?

March 11th, 2010

I know that statues of limitations on debts, this one is a substantial loan, in the state of NY is 6 yrs. According to info i have obtained the law states the last payment made or the chg off date is the date one goes by for when the statues start. On my credit report for this one loan, it shows 3 charge off dates? why 3? and which one do i go by. Next question is this: I was told that after the loan went into default, because i left the state the loan originated in, the time freezes until i move back into the state, and was also told this loan is being brought back up because the IRS did an audit and because the loan is over 10k, they are coming after my sister and I again. She co signed on the loan. They told her a much higher pay out that myself. I was offered 2900 to pay off and she was offered 10k to pay it off. I told him it was beyond statues and he said i was wrong because the time froze on this loan because i moved out of state. Is this correct? and can they collect 2 different amounts from my sister and I. He was also telling me about my credit and even read everything on my credit report. Actually he was quoting an awful lot of lies on top of it, but they are known to strong arm and bully. This company is out of Cali, i am in Mass and my sister is in NY. To file a judgement in court against us,would they not have to go to courts in each of our states, or just the state the loan originated in and what is he likeliness of that happening? and how do i find out the correct chg off date of this loan?
I co own a house with another individual and i was told they will take me to court and put a lien on “my” half of the house that im deeded on. Says that is legal to which im not sure about.
The loan was for a mobile home,, it got foreclosed on. The company i had the loan from never retrieved the property and this was back in 2002. The mobile home seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. The loan company has no idea where it is. So my other issue was this, had they come for the mobile home when i vacated,it would have been re sold or auctioned off causing my loan to go down in amount and i would have been responsible for the remainder, just like a car.
Now because the home was never retrieved they are saying i have to pay the entire loan. And if not, then they are going to put judgements against myself and my sister. can they put 2 judgements on against 2 different people? My sister was told they were going to destroy her squeaky clean credit if she didnt fork over 10 . They actually gave her 2 days to pay it. I told the man, i was not working, have no way to pay, and if hes going to put a lien on my house , go for it, its at risk with the economy right as it is.
Basically the man was ticking me off with his lies so i said what i said.
He wished me luck and ended the call.
Anyone have any answers?
The biggest thing here along with how old this loan is , is no one ever got the mobile home and now its disappeared and i never had the chance to lower the balance.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had fallen into some severely hard times, im not a dead beat people.Things happen.

Dont know what to do.?

March 1st, 2010

Last summer I moved away from my friends and family for a job. My brother in law told me it would be really easy to get a job in the area I moved to since most of the students were gone for summer break. I planned on saving all the money I made there to enroll in college.
After a few months I got involved with drugs and parties. It started out small, a social activity, but my addiction soon soared, after about 9 months I had no money to my name, two pay day loans out for over $1000.00, a past due credit card that was over the limit, all my money for food and rent was gone, and I drove away the girl I loved the most.
I hit rock bottom, and I hated it, I couldn’t deal with it.
I needed help, I needed to go back home.
I knew that if I stayed I would not have been able to stay away from the parties and the drugs.
So I left, I quit my job and had an old friend pick me up.
It’s been about a month now, I quit smoking and drinking and haven’t touched any drugs since I’ve been back.
But I still need help, I have no job, no home, and no money, and I still owe both check advance places and my credit card is still over due.
I want to go to bates, to get a degree in web design.
But I can’t find a way out of this hole. Interest keeps piling on, and I don’t think any college will let someone with credit like mine in, especially when I have the loans and the messed up credit card.

I need advice, I just don’t know what to do anymore.
