5. Finance Company Company that takes over contracts for installment debts from stores and adds a fee for collecting the debt. Consumer Finance Company--makes loans directly to consumers at relatively high interest rates. Examples: Payday Advance companies
Paycheck Advance Companies • How do they make sure the borrow will repay their loan? • Take care titles as security • What do you think would happen if the borrow didn’t repay their loan? • Loan company would take possession of the car • Sometimes charge 30% • Can spiral a persons financial situation until you’d possibly be paying a whole paycheck in fees.
Charge Accounts- 3 Options • Charge Accounts – credit extended to a consumer from a particular store. • Regular charge account – pay in full after 30 days • No interest if paid in 30 days • Revolving charge account – Can make more charges even if you haven’t paid in full. • Interest charged on unpaid balance • Installment charge account – equal payments spread over time. • Examples: major items—sofas, televisions, refrigerators
OTHER CHARGE OPTIONS “90 Days same as Cash” • You have 90 days to pay without store charging interest • IF you are a DAY late, you pay all the BACK INTEREST!!! • Higher interest rate than usual What you need to Know! What does this mean? What about interest?
Compare & Contrast Credit Cards vs. Debit Cards • Like charge accounts • Can be used at most stores in U.S. and even foreign countries • Examples: Visa, Mastercard • Can borrow cash (like access to a loan) • Must provide a signature Electronic transactions from your bank account Need a PIN instead of signature Do NOT provide loans or credit!
Finance Charges & Annual Percentage Rate(The cost of credit) • Finance charge – cost of credit expressed monthly in dollars and cents • Interest costs plus any other charges connected with credit are taken into account. • Computed in 4 Different Ways: • Previous Balance • Adjusted Balance • Average daily Balance • Past due Balance
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) Cost of credit express as a yearly percentage. What does that mean? A company that charges 18% APR would charge you $18 ANNUALLY for every $100 unpaid throughout the year
Did you know? Why would they accept credit cards? How does this charge get passed on to consumers? Stores have to pay a percentage of credit purchases to the company that issued the card.
Section 3 Applying for credit
A friend wants to borrow money from you. Would you lend it to him or her? What would you do? What factors in to your decision? How long would you give them to pay it back?
