i said how could that possibly be right, she said they take the interest tack it on to your loan then you pay from there.

i said so what if i hit the lottery the day after i buy it and im just gonna pay it off, i have to pay the $6300 + the 9% interest for every month??? she said ya i think thats the way it works

WTF is that ****, ive NEVER heard of anything like that before... and this is a ******* credit union

meanwhile i told my buddy im gonna sell him my silverado soon for $5500 thinking that was close to what i owe... now i owe $7050 on it
My loan is through a credit union too, my loan is for 3 years, so I payed 10,000 for the truck then like 500 in interest, a few weeks ago I payed an extra payment of 3000 dollars taking it down to 7500, but since I would get it payed off about 12 months early then took off about 12 months worth of interest off of my oringinal loan price. its hard to explain, anyone know what I mean? legally they cant charge you for like 3 years interest if you got the loan payed for in say 2 years

not true.
the loan must be paid off in full, even if paid off early.
after about 10 to 15 days the bank will cut you a check
for all of the interest that you paid off before time due.

i did the same thing, i paid the truck off a year early.
the bank sent me a check for a little over 200, that was the interest
tacked on to each payment for what was left.
i know how you feel, i looked at it the same way as you are doing right now.
but as the contract between you and the bank gos, must be paied off in full
as if you made every payment on time right down to the last payment in your book.
you signed the paperwork, you borrowed X amount with an interest rate of X%
to be paid back over this amount of time for a total of X + X% = as full payment.
pay it off early in full and you get a check for the X% that got paid before time due.

i guess you got lucky, here you take out a loan, you get a payment book with a set amount for each month.

some loans don't give you a payoff option. stay away from those.

I'm so glad my truck's paid off.

not true. that all depends on the agreed upon contract and the bank/credit union, every bank is different and different in how they operate.

Was 6300 the price of the truck or the the price + processing fees from the dealer. Look at your originial paperwork first of all and see what the initial note was for. Interest is then gathered heavily for the first year you own the vehicle and then you start to pay more toward the principle. If you plan on paying a vehicle off within the first year you should look for a sale that offers 0% interest for the first year. But even then there will be fine print about paying it off in that time frame. Most of the time even those offers are only valid if you agree to make payments for the entire life of the note and not pay off so early.
If they didn't have a way to come out on top they wouldn't be in the business.

And anytime you pay off a note you have to pay the interest for that year or month depending on the institute. I know on my personal notes when i'd get them knocked down and need more i'd have to pay the due interest before they'll give another loan.
