Good Rates
Just because you have a good credit history doesn't mean that you will automatically be rewarded with cheaper loan rates. As with other businesses set-up to make a profit lenders will almost always try to sell you an expensive product first before giving you the cheap stuff. The trick is to always negotiate and push for better rates and terms. Most lenders are used to this and will often lower the rates quite considerably if you have good credit or use quotes from other lenders to back you up.
Rates vs. Service
It isn't a very well know fact but these two important factors are almost always two ends of the same scale. If you want one you will almost always forego the other. The options are thus with the borrower if he or she wants extremely good rates but terrible customer service or moderate rates with very good customer services or even something in between. The sheer number of lenders means that you can almost always find a compromise somewhere in between.
Internet based Lenders
With the opening up of the internet, borrowers now have the option of going for extremely good rates even if they are considered sub-prime borrowers. Internet based lenders are much less sensitive to bad credit histories and as such can provide better rates compared to traditional brick and mortar lenders. |
