Basic Car Loan Math

Even if you know the basics of calculating monthly payments on ordinary car loans, this webinar is designed to start with the basics, and then look at some of the “tweeks” that dealers use in structuring a deal that can impact true cost of borrowing to a consumer.Learn how to handle irregular payments structures such as bi-weekly/semi-monthly payments, and how to identify the impact these have on the actual APR of a loan, such as deferred down payments/pick-up payments, deferred first payments/balloon payments, using APRWIN (free software from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency). Learn the skills needed to identify loans that may appear on their face to comply with TILA and state lending laws, but that are intentionally misleading in the way that they are disclosed to the consumer borrower, or otherwise not in compliance with the law.

The goal of this webinar is to teach skills to “screen” loans that are likely to have non-compliance issues during the client intake process, and show you some techniques to analyze these loans without having to go hire a financial expert for advice. The webinar will provide step-by-step instructions for using the APRWIN software to analyze different example loans, and how to enter these unusual loan structures into the software, and what to look for to identify non-compliance issues. Don’t worry… NO “HEAVY DUTY” MATH SKILLS are needed to be able to benefit from this webinar!
