A Secret Credit Score Your Car Dealer Won't Tell You About by Stephen Snyder
You're ready to buy a new car.
You've done all your homework.
You know your three FICO credit scores.
You determine that your highest FICO credit score is from Equifax (also known as your BEACON score).
So, you find a car dealer who uses your highest score (which increases your opportunity to get approved at a good rate).
You get to the dealership and ignore all the salespeople by going directly to the finance director's office.
But as the finance director reviews your credit file in front of you...you can't help but think something is wrong.
Sure enough...the dealer says your Equifax/BEACON score isn't high enough for their lowest interest rate.
How can this be? You just checked your FICO credit scores through www.myfico.com/12 a few hours ago. It's possible--although unlikely--the information on your credit report has changed and that your scores have decreased since you last checked them. Remember, your credit scores are dynamic and will change whenever information on your credit reports changes.
Your credit reports can change several times each month as new information is added or updated by your lenders. But more than likely, your scores wouldn't change in this situation (especially if there were only a few hours between when you checked your scores and when the dealership reviewed your credit reports).
So, if your credit reports didn't change, why is the finance director staring at your scores with such a discouraging face?
Car Dealers Can Use "Different" FICO Scores Than The Ones You See
The car dealer is probably using what is known as the FICO Auto Industry Option score instead of a traditional FICO credit score. You see, car dealers not only get to select the credit reporting agency they receive FICO credit scores from...they also get to decide if they will use a traditional FICO credit score or a variation of a FICO score called an Auto Industry Option score.
What's the difference between these two types of scores?
Not a whole lot to most people...but there's enough variation to make the majority of auto lenders use the Auto Industry Option score. The real difference between the two scores is that the Auto Industry Option score pays a lot more attention to how you handled previous auto credit.
- Have you made late payments on a current or previous auto loan or lease?
- Have you ever settled an auto loan or lease for less than you owed?
- Have you had a car repossessed?
- Have you had an auto account sent to collections?
- Did you include your car loan or lease in your bankruptcy?
Those actions will affect your Auto Industry Option score more than they'll affect your traditional FICO score. Bottom line, if you handled your previous auto credit perfectly, you should have a high FICO Auto Industry Option score--that's a good thing.
But what if you've had a few bumps in the auto credit road in the past? You guessed it...your Auto Industry Option score will be lower. You'll be perceived as a greater credit risk and the auto lender may either deny you or use your lower score to justify charging you a higher interest rate.
You see, auto lenders are different than other types of lenders. And I'm not talking about their slimy ways, leisure suits, short ties, manly hairy chests, or gold bling.
A lot of other lenders look at your whole credit picture to determine whether or not to give you a loan. But many auto lenders care about only one thing...how you handled your past AUTO credit. That's what a FICO Auto Industry Option Score gives car dealers--a way to pinpoint how you've handled what matters to them the most.
So, even if everything else on your credit reports went down the toilet after your bankruptcy, if you didn't include your auto loan in your bankruptcy and never defaulted or missed a car payment, your Auto Industry scores will probably be better than your traditional FICO scores!
What a Former Auto Finance Director Revealed to Me
I recently spoke with a former finance director, and this is what she told me...
"So many people I have helped couldn't believe their scores were so high with the FICO Auto Industry Option score. They had included all their credit card debt and their mortgage in their bankruptcy, but they reaffirmed their auto loan. What's good about the auto score is that it truly helps the auto lender concentrate on what is important--how the customer handles his/her auto loans.
By our dealership having the auto enhanced FICO, it helped 30% or more of our customers get better rates."
I don't believe I'm going to say this, but I think I may actually have found something good to say about car dealers! Well, some of them, anyway...
As you can see, the FICO auto scores can work in your favor, if they are used correctly.
OK, I just wouldn't be able to live with myself if I only said good things about car dealers.
So, in the interest of fair and balanced reporting, here's how to protect yourself against slimy car dealers that can use your FICO Auto Industry Option
scores against you...
A Dirty Trick Car Dealers Can Play with Your FICO Scores
Let's imagine your Equifax/Beacon FICO score is 585. Not too good. With a score that low, if you do get approved for a car loan, you'll probably wind up with a high interest rate and high monthly payment.
So you go to a dealership and talk with the finance director and tell him your Equifax FICO score is 585. The finance director then reviews your FICO Auto Industry Option score. And, unknown to you, this score is actually higher than the Equifax/Beacon FICO score you pulled.
With this higher score, you'll get approved at a better rate...right?
Not necessarily!
Here's what unscrupulous car dealers can do. They won't tell you that your auto score is higher than your traditional score!
They figure they have a sucker sitting in front of them. So they'll try to get you financed at a higher rate based on the lower FICO score (thus making more profit for themselves).
How Some Car Dealers "Play the Spread" to Get You to Pay More
Now check this out...
It's possible that a car dealer has the ability to pull your traditional FICO scores AND your FICO auto scores. That means they'll have six scores on you. It's a guarantee that some of those scores are going to be higher than the others. So which ones will they use when trying to get you financed?
It depends.
Are you familiar with the term "spread"? It's how car dealers make money when they finance you. If they can quote you a higher interest rate than you deserve--then they stand to make a nice chunk of change from the bank that finances you.
The only way to make a killer "spread" is to make you think that you have lower scores.
So, what can you do?
Don't despair...I can help you.
How to Use Your FICO Scores to Your Advantage when Buying a Car
Fortunately, you don't have to fall for their dirty tricks. Now that you know all about FICO Auto Industry Option scores, you can protect yourself. Here's what I suggest...
1. When you first walk into the finance director's office, don't tell him what your FICO scores are. Wait until he reviews the scores himself. Then ask him what your scores are.
2. If the scores he reviewed are higher than the ones you have, don't say anything and just go by his scores.
3. However, if your scores are higher, then pull them out and show him. If he has a choice in the type of scores he can use, there's a possibility that he'll be able to use your highest score. And, it will let him know that he doesn't have a fool sitting in front of him. He can't take advantage of you!
How do you find out what your FICO Auto Industry Option scores are before you walk into a car dealership?
You can't.
Sorry. They're not for sale--at any price. Only lenders have access to them.
FICO would like to sell them...but there just isn't enough demand. I mean seriously, up until you read this article, had you ever heard of the FICO Auto Industry Option score?
Exactly.
Remember, we were just given access to purchase all three of our traditional FICO credit scores on June 11, 2003 at 8:00 a.m. (I actually got misty that day...what a geek I am.)
Only a very small percentage of the population even knows they have three FICO credit scores...let alone three Auto Industry Option scores.
So How Can You Use This Information to Help You Get Your Next New Car Financed at the Best Interest Rate
1. First, get your three credit reports. If you handled your previous auto credit well--your FICO Auto Industry Option scores will be higher than your traditional FICO scores. So expect more from the lender.
2. You can also ask the lender to show you their tier levels. Tiers are basically charts lenders use that have different interest rates based on your scores. You want to see which tier your fall in. To see an example of an auto lender's tier schedule, click here.
3. If they won't show you...at least have them break it down verbally for you. (Personally, I like to see it with my own eyes, as I never believe a word that comes out of most car dealers' mouths.)
4. If you've handled your auto credit poorly...then you should simply try to find an auto lender that uses just the traditional FICO credit scores. When you find a lender that uses a traditional FICO credit score, you'll have your best chance to get the lowest interest rate.
5. Start by calling dealerships and asking the finance director if they use a traditional FICO credit score to make their lending decision or if they use the FICO Auto Industry Option score.
These steps will get you headed in the right direction. This won't be easy, as a lot of car dealers use the FICO Auto Industry Option score.

Loan To Own! Be Speculative When Making Your Car Purchase by Christine Macguire
Most car-shopping experiences are filled with myriad questions pertaining to the make, model, color, and options for their purchase. But what about questions pertaining to your affordability, the interest rate you will have to pay, and whether zero percent or cash back is the better option? Getting the best deal for your money on a new or used car is at times quite painful. It not only requires a lot of research but also some smart bargaining to shift the deal in your direction. Dealers and lenders offer a variety of loan terms and payment schedules that are often lucrative but if chosen inappropriately, may lead to bankruptcy.
Ironically, the high interest epidemic has traditionally hit self-employed and hard-working low-income/fixed-income folks more often than others, rendering such individuals apathetic as a sense of control over one's own life is often tied to income security and the chance to earn more. A growing number of Americans who find themselves in a financial bind are turning to car title loans for financing their dream car. Though a source of quick money, these car title loans have eventually ended up costing them their vehicle, and often the most valuable thing they own.
Car title loans are small loans secured by a borrower's vehicle that typically have triple digit interest rates. In an effort to sidestep laws and other protections, title lenders sometimes refer to such loans as "sales and leasebacks," "title pawns," or "motor vehicle equity lines of credit." Title loans drag low- and moderate-income borrowers into a cycle of debt that results in tremendous expenses and can strip borrowers of their most valuable possession. Losing a car because of a title loan can make it impossible for borrowers to keep a job, attend school, or obtain health care. The auto credit industry has a very strong lobby everywhere, and most consumer advocates say it will be tough to get something accomplished unless more politicians are involved. With no laws in place, you will find uncapped interest rates, some as high as 1200 percent.
Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. But title loans are not the only alternative. Bad credit auto loans can also do the legwork for you. Lenders of bad credit car loans usually have relationships with numerous other auto finance institutions and dealers who specialize in providing auto loans for people with bad credit histories. Many dealers and lenders offer bad credit car financing for new and used cars. If you suffer from a history of credit problems whether it is late payment, delinquencies, foreclosures, even bankruptcies you can still get car financed by such institutions offering to lend.
Well, it always pays off if you stay on top of credit cards and make sure your credit rating doesn't hurt your future. Having good credit is one of the best ways to prove to lenders that you are trustworthy. If you ever want to purchase anything on credit, whether it is a new car, an education, or a house, having a good credit rating can help. This is often the safest way out of a jam, but then again, there arises situations where you may be forced to use your credit for purchasing things and eventually land up with poor credit records. As your credit score declines, getting a car loan becomes extremely difficult. Only bad credit auto loans can help you out in such situations. Maximize your chances of getting such loans by doing your homework and knowing your credit score before applying for one.

A Business Loan: Best Companion of the Beginners and Experts of the Business World
By John Carry
With various avenues and jest for self freedom has stimulated many to start their own business. The way things are going on; it does not look a big task to start a new business. But for that there are some mandatory requirements like sheer jest to succeed, innovative ideas and the most important thing, money. Undoubtedly, you need consistent cash flow and one way or another to generate regular money. But, initially you need that firm support to go on with your dreams and a business loan can be the right solution.
You can have various reasons to go for a business loan and this loan would suit them. Much depends on your financial capability and circumstances. Well most of the times, people go for a business loan to purchase a piece of land to set up their own factory, to buy raw material or machinery, to pay off previous debts of their businesses, for further expansion of their business, to pay off the wages of the employees.
So, once you make up your mind to pursue your business dreams with all the courage and sheer desire then you can go for a business loan. If you are capable to offer collateral against the loan amount then procure a secured business loan. On the other hand, no need to feel bad even if you do not have any security or collateral to offer as you can go for an unsecured business loan.
Both loan solutions would suit you in one way or another. In case you avail the loan after offering security, then you would reduce the risk for the lender. Thus, the lender can easily afford to offer you flexibility in terms and conditions. Besides, you can also get the big loan amount and concession in interest rate. The loan which comes without security would not give you such liberties, but it would get you the much needed money even if you do not offer any collateral against it. It’s obvious that non-involvement of collateral would mean that it would take a lesser time for processing of the loan amount.
You need to finalise your priorities or business needs before going for a business loan. Beginners need to take a special care before settling upon a business loan plan. The best way to choose any business loan is to get all the detailed information about the various lenders and business loan plans. These preparations would definitely make the things easier for you.

Strike The Best Deal With Online Quotes on Auto Loans by Sam D'Costa
Most people do not know the process of getting an auto loan at low interest rates. They also do not know the factors, which influence the interest rate of an auto loan. Ignorant of market statistics, most people seek auto loans that do not suit their financial requirements. Online help for getting an auto loan is now the smartest way of getting the best rates. However to get best financing options available in the market, one has to take into consideration the financing companies, the down payment factor and the negotiable terms with the company to get best desired interest rate.
Financing Companies
One has to request for quotes from the financing companies and then comparing the lowest auto loan interest rate, which will suit your desired financial condition. But nowadays with the availability of Internet, one can easily make side-by-side comparisons of the interest rates. Other companies also might email their other financing offers to help you in getting the best. In order to get the most accurate quotes, one should fill out the online form as completely as possible.
Down Payment Factor
Zero down payment is definitely an option for saving money for that period of time, but large down payment is all the more better if one is thinking of saving money in the long run. Down payment of 20% or more will definitely make a person eligible for a lower interest rate. Also one will save money by not paying interest on that portion (down payment) of the car's price.
Negotiable Terms
One should balance the interest rates and the length of the loan according to one's financial condition. Shorter loans offer low interest rates. One should calculate his monthly budget to see the best option suited for the situation.
A person eligible for a pre-qualified auto loan can reduce the cost of the vehicle by demanding a better deal from the dealership. Dealers see you as a cash buyer and they want your cash. One can then surely negotiate for more rebates and other extra features.
To conclude, one should do proper homework since looking for the best financial deal for your car is as important as the make and model of the car one is going to purchase.

Refinance Your Car Loan - 3 Tips For Refinancing Your Auto Loan
Online
By Carrie Reeder
Refinancing your car loan is an ideal way to lower your
interest payments or reduce your monthly payments. By using
online auto loan lenders you can be assured that you are
finding the lowest rate. To be sure you are getting the best
terms, follow these three tips before you refinance your
vehicle.
1. Plan Your Payments
Before you refinance your auto loan, decide what your goal is.
Do you want a reduced interest payment or have a smaller
monthly payment? With your goal in mind, you can choose terms
that will best meet your needs.
To find reduced interest payments, it is best to have improved
your credit rating. One easy way to do this it to pay your
credit cards down to 50% of their limit. You can also find
lower interest rates by choosing a loan shorter than the
typical five year period.
To reduce your monthly payments, look for a loan for a longer
period. You don’t even have to find lower interest rates to
lower your monthly payment. However, you will be paying more in
interest payments over the course of your loan.
2. Come Prepared
To speed through the refinance process, gather all your
financial information ahead of time. If you don’t know the
current balance on your loan, call to get the exact amount.
Also be sure that you have the correct address to mail in the
check.
Having a copy of your last tax forms will also make filling out
the forms for quotes or a loan application easy.
3. Compare Quotes
When you are ready to find an auto loan, compare quotes before
you pick a lender. You can get quotes instantly from online
lenders and brokers. Auto loan brokers partner with several
lenders to offer you multiple quotes. Auto loan brokers strive
to offer the lowest rates, so you may find a better deal
through their sites than going to the individual lender’s site.
While rates and terms are important to compare, also take a
look at fees and repayment options. You don’t want to get
locked into a deal that you can’t pay early or refinance.

Best Car Loan Rates - Tips To Getting A Low Auto Loan Rate
Online
By Carrie Reeder
Online car loan shopping practically guarantees that you are
getting the best rates. Your location is no longer a barrier to
finding the best auto loan rate. However, you want to take
advantage of the financing options available. While searching
for an auto loan, research financing companies, negotiate
terms, and increase your down payment to get low rates.
Study Financing Companies
A sure fire way to find the best car loan rate is to study
financing companies. Only by requesting quotes and comparing
the fine print can you truly know you are getting the lowest
rate.
Fortunately, online auto loan brokers offer convenient ways to
compare lenders. With some sites you can make side by side
comparisons, while other sites will email you multiple
financing offers. Auto loan brokers work hard to attract
customers by negotiating lower rates with lenders, so you often
will find better deals through their sites that through a
dealership.
To ensure that you are getting accurate quotes, fill out the
form as completely as possible. A slight difference in income
or employment dates can reduce your interest rate.
Negotiate Terms
To find the best auto loan for your financial situation, you
will want to balance the interest rates and length of your
loan. Shorter loans offer lower rates, but with a higher
monthly payment. Take a look at your monthly budget to see what
type of auto loan would work best for your situation.
Increase Your Down Payment
While zero down or a slight down payment are options for car
buyers, a large down payment will save you money. By putting
down 20% or more, you will qualify for a lower interest rate,
even if you have adverse credit. You will also save money by
not paying interest on that portion of the vehicle’s price.
Demand A Better Deal
By getting pre-qualified for a car loan, you can also reduce
the cost of your vehicle by demanding a better deal from your
dealership. As a pre-qualified buyer, salespeople see you as a
cash buyer, and they want your money. You can negotiate for
rebates, higher trade-in value of your vehicle, and extra
features.

Online car loan shopping practically guarantees that you are
getting the best rates. Your location is no longer a barrier to
finding the best auto loan rate. However, you want to take
advantage of the financing options available. While searching
for an auto loan, research financing companies, negotiate
terms, and increase your down payment to get low rates.
Study Financing Companies
A sure fire way to find the best car loan rate is to study
financing companies. Only by requesting quotes and comparing
the fine print can you truly know you are getting the lowest
rate.
Fortunately, online auto loan brokers offer convenient ways to
compare lenders. With some sites you can make side by side
comparisons, while other sites will email you multiple
financing offers. Auto loan brokers work hard to attract
customers by negotiating lower rates with lenders, so you often
will find better deals through their sites that through a
dealership.
To ensure that you are getting accurate quotes, fill out the
form as completely as possible. A slight difference in income
or employment dates can reduce your interest rate.
Negotiate Terms
To find the best auto loan for your financial situation, you
will want to balance the interest rates and length of your
loan. Shorter loans offer lower rates, but with a higher
monthly payment. Take a look at your monthly budget to see what
type of auto loan would work best for your situation.
Increase Your Down Payment
While zero down or a slight down payment are options for car
buyers, a large down payment will save you money. By putting
down 20% or more, you will qualify for a lower interest rate,
even if you have adverse credit. You will also save money by
not paying interest on that portion of the vehicle’s price.
Demand A Better Deal
By getting pre-qualified for a car loan, you can also reduce
the cost of your vehicle by demanding a better deal from your
dealership. As a pre-qualified buyer, salespeople see you as a
cash buyer, and they want your money. You can negotiate for
rebates, higher trade-in value of your vehicle, and extra
features.
