How long should I make loan payments before it will build my credit?

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
jimbob66 asked:


I recently applied for an auto loan to start building some credit. I have the money to pay it off right away, but I was waiting to start building my credit. Is there any benefit to taking months to pay it off or is just having a loan enough to build credit? Is there a good amount of months to wait to pay it off?

How does subsidized student loan interest work?

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
biggishhenn asked:


I will be taking out a subsidized loan for the first time, and had a question about the interest. If I take out $2,000 at 5% interest and it is deferred until after graduation, is the interest applied right away or does it start accumulating after graduation? And if I pay off the loan before graduating, do I pay any interest?

Is clearing the home loan a better option or should I go with the regular EMIs for the entire tenure ?

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
Itsme asked:


I already have a home loan with ICICI on a floating interest rate. I’am looking for another loan.Should I clear this loan first to avail another loan or should I continue paying the EMIs for the entire tenure(This is a huge amount I will be paying by the end).
“Clearing a home loan” is what I meant of getting rid of the loan by making a pre-payment.

How can I get a student loan after I declared bankruptcy?

Heidi M asked:


I’m finding it impossible to get approval for a student loan because I previously declared bankruptcy. I can easily get approved for a car loan, but not for my education. Anyone with ideas or information about this situation please respond. I have to pay for nursing school by August 1st!

How do I get a personal loan with bad credit?

Saturday, March 21st, 2009
Pehsha P asked:


I am looking for a personal loan, but my credit is not good. I don’t want a payday loan but that is all I find on the internet when I type in personal loans for people with bad credit. Do you know any lender who will give loans to people with bad credit? I don’t really care to much about the interest rate. I just would like the loan to pay off some stuff and get some new things I need around my house. But I don’t own a home, so I can get a home loan.

How does a loan indexed against a basket of currencies work?

Thursday, March 19th, 2009
Paul McBride asked:


A couple of year s ago. I took out an auto loan and the lender in the country I am living in indexed the loadn against a basket of currencies. Everything seemed to be going fine until recently when the currency of the country I am living in started to depreciate against other currencies. I notice that my new principal took a hit in the upward direct by approximately the same percentage as the decline in the local currency so I now owe more than I did a year ago. If my currency here recovers to previous levels will the principal also go down?

How do you know whether the bank classes your home loan as a “subprime” loan?

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
Mr. Vincent Van Jessup asked:


My loan is fixed rate, my monthly payment is fairly low, and I put down a large downpayment. But it was my first home, and I find myself wondering if I had a “bad risk” loan or a normal home loan, after hearing constant talk about “the subprime lending debacle”. Any info you can offer will be appreciated.
