Comparing the interest rates
When comparing deals look at the Annual Percentage Rates of interest charged. Don’t pay attention to the monthly interest rates advertised by shops – these are always lower than the annual rate and can mislead you into thinking you’ve go a better deal than you really have. Always ask the lender what their APR is before you sign an agreement – if they don’t make it clear then walk away. Generally, the lower the APR the better the deal for you.
If you find a deal with a low APR, ask the following questions:-
* Do the charges included in the APR vary or is the rate fixed? If the charges are variable, your repayments could go up or go down. If the rate is fixed, your repayments will stay the same.
* Are there any charges that are not included in the APR? This could include something like optional payment protection insurance or an arrangement fee. If so, make sure you understand what they are and when you would have to pay them.
* When and how often you pay the interest charges? Find out if, for example, you suddenly have spare money, can you pay the loan off early without penalties?
Repayments
Loans are repaid in monthly installments over an agreed period. This amount of time is usually fixed and if you want to pay off the loan earlier you might have to pay a penalty. The longer the repayment period, the more interest you will pay.
Flexible loans, which let you pay back the money whenever you want, are becoming more common but the interest rate charges is often higher.
The most important thing is to make sure you know exactly what the monthly payments will be, how much you will pay back in total and whether realistically you can afford it.
