Seven Ways Fed Policy Affects Your Pocketbook Fox Business

When the Federal Open Market Committee meets to set the federal funds rate, the decision has far-reaching effects on almost every aspect of your personal finances and household wealth.

From the interest rate you pay on debt to the availability of credit and even your prospects in the job market, they all can be traced back to the projections and judgments of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke and the other FOMC members -- Fed board governors and reserve bank presidents -- who meet in Washington to decide on the central bank's monetary policy.

"The decisions of the Fed impact, literally, every financial decision you make," says Michael Reese, a Certified Financial Planner in Traverse City, Mich. "The Federal Reserve has its fingers in your pocketbook to a greater degree than the IRS."

The Fed's mission is to encourage as much economic growth as possible without raising inflation. "The Fed has a dual mandate. They want to have low and steady inflation and a strong labor market ," says Gus Faucher, director of macroeconomics at Moody's Analytics.

What credit union will refinance a auto loan with credit score 570?

I am with Patelco credit union and you have practically jump thru hoops to do ANYTHING. I can't even get a check card without them runnin my credit report. My account is in good standing. Only reason I openned is to establish a relationship to get a loan, but if I can't get a check card what else can I do?


Normally with a score under 600 you will probably need to get money down on the car before they will give you a loan. Try getting at least 10% down on the car.


Ask the dealer if they use Centrix Financial. They are a sub-prime lender and assign the loan to a credit union. Remember that with a score of 570, you will still have a very high interest rate. Probably between 16-19%


Lee you already asked this question a couple of hours ago and stated that you were with H.S.B.C. at a 16% rate.

16% is not a bad rate for your score, you just need to keep making the payments until you have at least 12-18 made as agreed on your credit and you should have no problem refinancing at a lower rate.

And by the way Centrix is out of business. Has been for months.

Is there a way to refinance an auto loan with bad credit? any company that is likely to help??

I have an auto loan that has just over 12,000 left due and I would like to refinance but have bad credit...is there a company that will refinace even if you have bad credit???
my current interest rate is 12.75%.....will it go up really high if i refinance?


You CAN get a decent car loan, even with bad credit. I've done it, but you'll have to look around. That's one of the BIG mistakes people make...just taking the first offer that's given to them when they go to the dealer. Be smarter than that.

WARNING: DON'T GO TO BUY A CAR WITHOUT HAVING THE LOAN FIRST. The auto dealers will eat you alive and give you a crappy rate. Shop around with lenders who specialize in bad credit car loans. It's a better option, you don't have to take what they're offering if you don't want it, and it's better than dealing with the car dealer's people.

There are usually some nationally based car loan companies who specialize in bad credit car loans who advertise on the page linked below...

how do i get ex to refinance auto loan to stop messing up my credit?

we got the loan jointly while we were married, got divorced shortly after, she maintains possession but has not been making regular payments, so creditor has been contacting me regarding payments.


Nothing you can do. Should have had the Judge put the car in her name only, or had you both sell it and payed off the loan.


kill him and burn the remains. then cancel the loan


Cancel that loan


Should have been part of the divorce settlement. Probably not much now if her name is on title.


When you got divorced, you should made sure that your lawyer got her to sign a quit claim deed and make sure that the finance company had a copy of it showing that she was not the owner in 100% possession of the vehicle. Barring that, you need to consult with an attorney possibly to fix the problem.


OK go to a lawyer and take her to court to sue her for the money, the court can make her pay the loan since it is now in her possession, but it also should be said that a court will and can tell you both to sell the car for the debt owed on it.

Tell the creditors that you are going to court over this as well.


Your divorce paperwork should have stipulated something about this loan. If your divorce decree states that she is responsible for all payments, then mail the loan company the documentation so they will stop hounding you. You can stop the credit issue by contacting the three major credit agencies and sending them the same paperwork.

If your divorce decree does not have the information you need, and if she is not willing to make things rights, then you'll have no other choice but to file a dispute against her legally and go back to court.

I hope this helps!!


you can't refinance a car loan - the asset depreciates, so it's probably worth less than the loan balance until the point where you only have a few payments left

Only been at job for 1 month, last job 3 years. Can i refinance auto loan with credit score of 620?



There is much more to be taken into account here. Lenders look at your job, income, financial situation, debts, current loan amount, car value, and many others. With a 620 you have a decent chance. Best part is applying is free. No harm in checking to see if it'd help.


you can refinance anything these days... you jsut have to be careful that you arent paying a large refinance fee that will cancel out the smaller payments


Don't refinance, you are likely to get another rip-off interest rate. Sell your car and get a car that you can afford with cash.

Will an auto loan refinance show as a payoff on credit report?

Hi! A year ago when I purchased a new vehicle I put my fiance on the loan as a co-borrower to help out her credit. I am now in the process of refinancing, but she currently has no income, so she would make the rate higher now, so I am leaving her off of the new loan. The question is...... will the payoff to the current bank show on her credit report as a payoff and look as though the car was simply paid for and not refinanced? Not sure how that would look on the credit report or affect her score... any info is appreciated!


I agree with Jay, he is correct.

And-You probably do not want to do busines with Mrs Wall.


yes it will show up as a payoff. As far as the bank is concerned, the loan has been satisfied and there is no more liability on your part.

If I refinance my auto loan will my credit score go up?

Seems to me it should cause ur paying off one loan and opening another


It would equal out. Paying off a loan is good, but it will reflect another account being opened. I dont think it will effect your credit score all that much one way or another.


No, actually it will drop your score. For one thing, new accounts are not yet "aged" so while you pay one off you are opening another one with no history. If you pay on time for 1 year, you might see a small increase in your score but at first a new account has a detrimental effect.

does it look bad on your credit if you refinance your auto loan ?



Auto finance is what I do for a living and I have done this a couple of times and no it doe's not look bad on your credit.


If rates fall what would you do ? I would refinance.


If you paid almost half of the loan, you paid about 70% of your interest. If it's a fairly new loan, and the rate is much lower, then you should refinance.
