Car Loan Application Process

A car loan application is a fairly easy process. A car loan application can even be taken over the phone. The whole process will take about 15 to 20 minutes. You will be required to give your personal information, this will include:

A� Your full name as it seems on your driver’s license

A� Current address (you will need to give three years history)

A� Contact phone number

A� Date of Birth

A� Number of dependents

A� Drivers license number and expiry date

A� Email address

A� Current housing situation (owner, mortgage, renting, boarding)

A� Mortgage agent if home owner

A� Current occupation and time spent there

A� Name and address of current employer

A� Phone number and contact details of employer

A� Income

A� You will also need to provide current pay slips

A� Any current or previous loan commitments and the amount borrowed

A� The name of your banking institutions

A� Supply name, address and phone number of two references not living with you

A� Details of goods being purchased

A� Type of purchase (Private sale or Dealer sale)

A� Loan structure ( amount of months you wish to pay loan off)

A� You will then be asked questions relating to previous or current lending history including any defaults, court judgements or a current or discharged bankrupt

A� If there is a second applicant the broker will need to speak to the other borrower and obtain their personal information also

A� You will also be asked if you will allow a credit check to be carried out

The broker may ask other questions about your car loan application and all of this is necessary as the lender requires this to identify you and also to prove your ability to repay the loan over the period of time allocated. Living expenses are also taken into consideration and a certain amount of your weekly salary is allocated for this. Once you have all of the information required your car loan application can be submitted by the finance broker to the lender. If the customer has a clean credit history and can service the car loan to the satisfaction of the lender an approval can be instantaneous. Once copies of pay slips and your identity has been verified you are able to go shopping for your new car. If any other information is required by the lender your finance broker will contact you and request this information prior to your car loan application being approved. Your finance broker will keep you informed throughout the entire process. I hope this information has been helpful with the knowledge of what information you need on hand when doing a car loan application.

How To Stay On Top Of Your Insurance Learning how to manage your insurance needs is important. Having quality insurance will ensure that when the unexpected happens you will be covered. There are so many different types of insurance out there and so many different ways to handle your insurance needs. Here we’ve complied some tips to help you. Auto Insurance When purchasing insurance, whether it be for your home, your automobile, or even on a pet, try to see if the company offers any sort of bundling discount. A lot of times if you have several different policies, say renter’s insurance and auto insurance, you will get discounted on both. For apartment dwellers usually renter’s insurance is mandatory, so asking this question is tantamount to guaranteed savings. By way of conclusion, bundle and save money! Car Insurance Much like car insurance or health insurance, having a higher deductible can save you money on your premium. The downside to all of this, is that if you have a small claim to make, you will most likely have to pay for the entire repair out of your own pocket. Cheap Insurance In order to get cheap insurance rates it is best to buy insurance online. This reduces the cost of the insurance because most companies will not need to add overhead associated to the automation process of signing up for the insurance. Insurance rates taken online typically drop by five to ten percent. Home Insurance Look into multiple insurance policy discounts. When you bundle your insurance contracts with one company, you will often get a discount of 10% or more. If you currently have home insurance with a company that you are satisfied with, contact them and get a quote for auto or life insurance. You may find that you will get a discount on every policy. Insurance Car Health insurance, car insurance, renter’s insurance, pet insurance, travel insurance. All of those things are necessary and they insure one’s peace of mind. It is easy to think that paying a minimal monthly amount is ridiculous, but when something catastrophic happens, insurance saves the day. Insurance will save one’s car, another driver’s car, items in one’s apartment, cover the bills for a sick pet, reimburse one for a trip that got cancelled because of bad weather, or pay medical bills. Purchasing insurance is necessary and it should factor into everyone’s budget. One hundred dollars every month is far easier to handle than one hundred thousand because something unexpected happened. Insurance Companies When purchasing insurance, make sure you buy it over the internet. Most insurance companies offer discounts for those who purchase their coverage over the internet rather than in person or over the phone. Some offer discounts between 5-15%. It may not seem like a lot at first, but it adds up over time. Insurance Policy Repeat after me: you must always read the fine print when signing an insurance policy. In an insurance transaction, you typically will have to sign a large number of papers containing thousands of words in tiny print. You need to read – and understand – these forms before you sign any insurance policy. Do not allow the agent to blow through the forms and simply sign at the several places marked with an X. If you don’t understand the fine print, you will likely regret your purchase decision down the line. Motorcycle Insurance Save money on insurance by purchasing bundled policies. For example, you may be able to insure both a car and motorcycle for a discounted fixed rate. You will be able to find bundles that cover your vehicles and your home. Before you buy anything, though, be sure that you actually need it. Vehicle Insurance If you don’t have health insurance coverage, you may want to add medical coverage to your vehicle insurance policy. Auto accidents are often a major cause of catastrophic medical bills and the medical coverage will cover everyone in the car, regardless of who the driver at fault it. This can protect your assets from being party to a lawsuit and can save you a lot of bills in the even an accident occurs. Insurance coverage can be a minefield of unfamiliar terms, fine print, discounts, coverage levels and so on. There’s no way we can cover everything you need to know here but hopefully this has been a good starter to get you on your way. Research your particular needs and make sure that you stay covered!
