Q: Legal or Illegal? Car Loan Interest applied jumping all over, not going down steadily
Legal or Illegal?
Car Loan. High interest rate.
I looked at the last two years and noticed interest applied to the loan jumped all over. According to a normal amortization schedule, interest payment should have only been above $200 the first month. Only 10 payments from the 2 years were less than $200, others ranging from $203.15 up to $302.00 (the entire amount sent). No payments were late, many were early.
Why would this happen? Are they playing illegal interest application games hoping no one will notice?
only about $150 difference in balance due over 2 years, but still... who wants to pay an extra $500 they don't owe by the end of a very expensive loan?
And if they're doing it to me, how many others are they doing it to potentially netting millions or billions of extra dollars each year?
