hi all, I hoping that someone will be able to help me, I have an car on finance and I have many questions about the agreement that I would rather discuss on here rather then ask the company direct. First one is:
why is the interest paid first on my monthly repayments?

I'm not complaining, it's just that I have to explain why this is to someone else and I've tried reading the Act but am a bit stumped...0

Because you pay interest on what you owe.
You have a month accruing interest, they apply it, then you make your payment.

I've heard that my interest is front loaded? what does that mean?0

You pay the interest or the bulk of it 1st.
The old saying... The only thing that lasts forever on a car is the finance.
Now you know why they used to say that.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
