What Fed's actions mean for you Omaha World-Herald
The Federal Reserve's pledge to maintain interest rates at record low levels until mid-2013 will create a seesaw effect for Midlands consumers.
How you're affected will depend on which end of the seesaw you're on.
One one end — this would be the end pointing skyward — consumers looking to finance a big-ticket purchase such as a new car could get a better deal. Others looking to refinance mortgages or outstanding debt also could find themselves in a good spot.
But on the other end of the seesaw — the heavy end, the one resting on the ground — are retirees and fixed-income investors being squeezed by low-risk investments that now don't yield enough to even cover inflation. On top of that, super-low interest rates are expected to do little to create jobs, get mortgages approved or encourage uneasy consumers to spend.
"It's all about consumer psychology right now," said Stan Humphries, chief economist at Zillow.com. "During economic turmoil, people hunker down."

Car Refinance?
I applied and approved for a car refinance loan with Wells Fargo. My question is, I owe $26,000 for my car but the blue book value is only $17,500. Will I have to pay the difference between what I owe and what the car if valued at? I can't call Wells Fargo's customer service because their offices are closed.
Usually, the bank will not lend that big of an advance on a car. They typically want to stay at 100% of the car's value. If you have gold balls credit, they will extend an over-advance. Most overadvances are in teh 110% range, some go as high as 125%. You are looking for a 148% advance. That is a very hard loan to get.
Right now, banks are very tight on their loans. As you know, people are foreclosing and defaulting like never before. So, they are more conservative in their lending.
I would expect them to come back and tell you they would loan about $20,000 tops on this car. Then the otehr $6000 is on you to pay some way. If you cannot pay the $6k, then they will not be able to refi the car.
How do i refinance a car with bad credit?
i want to refinance my car so i can put it under my own name.It's under my husband's name.
I am making all the payment so it might as well be under my name.
I bought the car 5 month ago .Is it too soon to refinance ?
and can anyone suggest any car refinancing companies?
Thanks.
It's not refinance..... it's just financing. You have to apply for a normal loan then buy out your husband's note. You'll probably end up paying more due to your bad credit. Why don't you just leave it be and concentrate on fixing your credit first?
My guess is that it will take qualifying for the loan on your income only, and there will be fees you will have to pay.
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.

Can i cancel a car refinance loan i made three days ago through Wells Fargo in California?
I refinanced my car loan through wells fargo and i don't like the interest rate that they gave me so i want to cancel the loan, want to keep my original loan. I have already tried to call my original loan company and tell them to return the check, but they say there is nothing they can do. I tried to get Wells Fargo to stop payment on the check but they said i had to go to the branch. Are there any other things i can do? Maybe write a letter or something?
No you can't. But you might be able to refinance again.
Would it be good to refinance car loan when the current loan is reported as Included in Bankruptcy wrongly?
I've got a car loan that was kept through my bankruptcy and I've been paying on for approx two years since now and just realized they reported it as part of my bankruptcy and they will not change(included is said because it was written about in the papers even though it was reaffirmed). I'm trying to now fix my credit up some and would like to know if it will help or even effect at all my credit to refinance it now?
I went through this same thing back in 2001 and Ford was not reporting my account, all it took was a simple phone call and they updated the information on the bureaus.
If your lender will not do this, you will have to have proof that you have been making the payments to be approved for a refinance loan.
If you do get refinanced, it will help your credit as long as your lender reports to the credit bureaus.
======================================
If this is not your first time buying a car, then you may be well aware of the various steps that you have to take as well as the pitfalls to avoid. If however, this is your first time around, you may not be aware of this. So here are some guidelines that will help make your car purchase a smooth one:
Know exactly what type of car you want and how much you are willing to spend on it. Use the power of the Internet to do your research. Do not start off with a blank cheque. Always bear in mind that a car loan generally requires a medium to long term financial commitment. You should therefore look at this expenditure with a very futuristic view. You should also factor in as well, the possibility of unexpected expenses such as accident, illness etc.
Always know what your credit score is in advance. This will ultimately determine if lenders will be willing to lend you and how much. Very recently, I met someone who took it for granted that all was well with their credit score. When he applied for the loan, he had serious problems. There were transactions on his credit report that he knew nothing about, and these damaged his credit rating. It turned out that he was a victim of identity theft and was completely unaware of it. So even before approaching any finance house for a loan, please get into the habit of checking your credit score on a regular basis. It can save you a lot of stress.
Shop around for the lowest rate car loan you can find. Car loan repayments are calculated using an amortization schedule. You will be given a fixed monthly payment to make, part of which will be paid towards liquidating your outstanding interest and the rest towards your principal. As the age of the loan increases, the interest accrued each month will decrease resulting in more of your payment going towards your principle. But the point here is that a seemingly small change in the interest rate can significantly impact on the total amount you pay over the term of the loan, particularly for a medium to large principle burrowed.
Most dealers will also offer financing. Always remember that they offer financing on behalf of some financial institution and will get a cut for each loan they get. You will have to pay for that cut. It will be included in the total amount you will pay over the duration of the loan. Even though it may appear to be more convenient and saves you time, it will definitely cost you more. It is therefore better to get financing for your car loan directly from a bank or financial institution.
If you are looking at refinancing an existing loan, first ensure that everything is in order – particularly if you are seeking to refinance after filing for bankruptcy. I must repeat – keep your eye on your credit report.
Be truthful in filling out the application for the car loan. Do not try to burrow more that you can comfortably afford. This will backfire on you and could negatively impact on your credit score. If the car you want is more than your credit rate allows, then settle for less while you build on your credit score and you savings.
Best Regards

How do I refinance car if I owe more than it's worth?
My car is a 2006 and I have a 19% interest rate. The payment is alloted out of check, so never missed a payment. I owe 16,000 and it values for 11,000. Could I be able to refinance, or am I screwed?
Usually about 6 months. But most impotanly if the rate is a lot lower then when you bought it. If you were to have bought it a month ago, but th inteist ate is about 3.5% or lower now then when you purchased it, I would reccomend doing it now
There is a difference between owing and what the 10 day payoff balance is minus the interest.
I bet if you called the bank and ask them what the 10 day or 30 day payoff is without interest it will be a lot lower then $16,000 and perhaps lower then the $11,000 value
Can a person with great credit and joint has horrible credit get a good car refinance APR rate ?
Here's the thing I have a GMC Envoy I've been paying 400 monthly and its not even worth 15000 anymore so I want to refinance ASAP to lower payments and get over with but I have horrible credit (600) and my mother has great (800) would I still get a good APR rate ?
Auto finance is what I do for a living and yes you can if you go through a credit union, they use the highest score to establish the rate.
There is no such thing as merged credit scores.
Yes, you would get a better APR.
But also consider this. If you pay lets say 5,000 into that loan, you will be paying less interest in the long run, and your loan will be shorter. Why not ask your mother for a 5,000 personal loan instead, so you can pay it into the car loan?

How fast should i refinance my car loan?
Car loan is 17000 dollars apr is 17 %.
Dealer told me that i can refinance in 4-6 months, but i think he lied to me. Bank told me that i can refinance only once.
So 4 months passed.
SHould i try to refinance it or wait at least 12 months???
Thank you.
At that apr and assuming the 17000 was the value of the car, you will be "upside-down" for 2-3 years, i.e., your car will be worth less than the loan balance. Make double--even triple--payments as you can, or you will need thousands to refinance.
How to refinance a car with horrible credit and no equity?
I have a brand new Ford Focus just bought it fresh off the floor and have a cosigner, but we need to refinance it now and have horrible bad credit. Can anyone help with how to refinance a car with bad credit and no equity?
You just bought it and want to refinance it? Why did you buy it at all, then? The value dropped 20% as soon as you titled it. Unless you made a big down payment, it's not gonna happen.
Is it possible to refinance a car? Even when the state keeps your title for the current lender?
Someone told me that it's possible to refinance a car. But North Carolina State destroys your title until it's paid off. Can I refinance my car without my title?
I have never heard of this but have you called them just to recheck if this is true.
The only reason I ask is that someone can be added to a title for many reasons including refinancing, so why would they destroy the title ???
