HOW IMPORTANT DOES MY CREDIT SCORE REFLECT MY APPROVAL?

A credit score is an automated assessment of how risky you are to a lender. Your credit score can affect your application as some lenders base overall criteria based on your score.

Your credit score is calculated through Equifax based on amount of enquiry/applications & any late payments on your existing commitments.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT INTEREST RATES?

The interest rate is determined based on your profile. Which is made up of a factor of things. This includes your residential status, if you are a home owner, if you are renting or boarding. It is also based on the age of the asset you are purchasing. If it is a NEW or USED asset. If it is 2 years old or 6 years old. Some lenders will also calculate the rate based on your credit score. Our lenders have rates from as low as 4% with Tier C lenders rates ranging up to 30%

Under a consumer loan (PAYG) the early termination fee is with most lenders is approx $10 per month left remaining in the contract. Some lenders will also charge an administration fee to terminate the loan early. These fees & charges are outlined in your contract.

Under a commercial purchase (Chattel Mortgage) you are generally bound to the full term. If you do pay out early some lenders will charge 30% of the unused interest as a payout penalty.

DO PAYDAY LENDERS AFFECT MY ABILITY TO BORROW FUNDS?

We do have lenders on our panel who will assist in providing our clients finance if you do have a payday lender however it is a small % of lenders who will and at a high cost. We encourage our clients to refrain from taking out any payday loan (which is considered anywhere between $300-$3000) this can affect your ability to borrow funds as the lenders consider any payday loan a means of financial hardship.
