Loan - Definitions Whenever you borrow money, you must sign an
agreement, called a PROMISSORY NOTE, which sates the conditions of
the loan. Your signature is your promise to pay back the loan as
outlined in the agreement. The amount you borrow is the PRINCIPAL.
The interest rate you pay is given per year and is the ANNUAL
PERCENTAGE RATE (APR).
Slide 3
Loan - Definitions The Truth in Lending Act requires that the
creditor list the following information of a loan Principal APR
Monthly payments Number of payments Finance charge Due dates for
each payment Fees for late payments
Slide 4
Loan - Definitions COSIGNER This person agrees to pay back the
loan if the borrower is unable to do so. People without established
credit rating often need a cosigner. LIFE INSURANCE A creditor
often requires a borrower to have life insurance that will cover
the loan in the event the borrower dies before the loan is paid.
PREPAYMENT PRIVILEGE This feature allows the borrower to make
payments before the due date to reduce the amount of interest.
Slide 5
Loan - Definitions PREPAYMENT PENALTY This agreement requires
borrowers to pay a fee if they wish to pay back an entire loan
before the due date. WAGE ASSIGNMENT This is a voluntary deduction
from an employees paycheck, used to pay off debts. If a debtors
employer and the creditor agree, loans can be paid off using this
form of electronic transfer. WAGE GARNISHMENT This is an
involuntary form of wage assignment, often enforced by court order.
The employer deducts money from the employees paycheck to pay the
creditor.
Slide 6
Loan - Definitions BALLOON PAYMENT The last monthly payment on
some loans can be much higher than the previous payments. These
high payments are called balloon payments. LENDING INSTITUTIONS
Organization that extend loans. Lending institutions make profit by
charging interest.
Slide 7
Lending Institutions Banks SAVINGS BANKS offer good interest
rates but require loan applicants to have good credit. COMMERCIAL
BANKS are banks used by businesses, so they have large amounts of
money to lend. They also require a good credit rating. Credit
Unions A credit union provides financial service for its members
only. Members deposit money in a credit union account. This money
is made available to members who apply for loans from the credit
union, usually at an interest rate that is lower than a bank can
offer.
Slide 8
Lending Institutions Consumer Finance Companies (Pay Day Loan)
These businesses primarily lend money to people with poor credit
ratings, who cannot get a loan anywhere else. High interest rates
are charged for this service. Life Insurance Companies Life
insurance companies make loans to their policyholders. The amount
that can be borrowed is based on the amount of life insurance
purchased and the length of time the policy has been held. Interest
Rates are low because if the loan is not paid back, it can be
deducted from the life insurance benefit when it is paid.
Slide 9
Lending Institutions Pawnshops Pawnshops are known for small,
quick loans. A customer who need money leaves a personal belonging,
called COLLATERAL, with the pawn broker in exchange for the loan.
Most loans are 30-, 60-, or 90- day loans. When the debtor returns
with the principal plus interest, the collateral is returned. Loan
Sharks Charge extremely high interest rates and do not formally
check your credit rating. Loan sharking is illegal.
