I’m starting a small business, and I would like to offer financing to my customers, but I’m unsure of how to calculate monthly finance charges based on APR.

For instance, if I financed $700 at 20% APR over 24 months, how would I calculate a customer’s monthly bill?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

I heard that if you pay credit card bills with online banking that it wont help you build score. Im trying to pay off a credit debt and im paying with online banking instead of driving to the bank.

We are filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and it is due to be discharged by May. How long after that can we finance a car for a decent rate?

What happens if a finance company never repossesses a vehicle that has been discharged in bankruptcy? No payments have been made in 14 months…Bankruptcy discharged in June of this year. Finance company has our current address and phone number.

Pretty much exactly what the main question says. I have no idea what a “finance charge” is. For instance, would I be charged a finance charge if I charged a purchase, and then paid the balance immediately?

Any additional information that could be given would be great, as I’m considering getting my first credit card, and want to know everything I can so that I don’t get myself into trouble.

Here is the deal. I kind of got taken from a shady Persian gentlemen who did the financing for me at my local Honda dealership. So he got me for a higher interest rate, lied to me so I would purchase stuff like extended warranty and gap insurance. My question is this: Based on my original loan the total loan amount of my interest would have been like $12,000 spread out over six years. But I went ahead and paid a large portion of that down and refinanced with a third party – therefore reducing the total interest to something like
$3500 over four years. So here is my question. Does this dishonest finance guy at the dealership get a cut of the original $12,000 and get his money up front? Or will he only get a cut of the total amount of interest I paid on the original loan which was about $1300? I want to know if by refinancing through some other lender if I took money away from him that he was expecting would come to him based on the terms of the original loan?
