Have you ever found yourself with a really bad car loan?

I have an interest rate of %29.99. Originally loan amount was $9504. I paid $2000 down on the car. I got the loan over 13 months ago and still owe over $8000 for it. And the car keeps having problems.

It's called a predatory loan. Illegal in some states. They are not going to respect you, so have an attorney send them a letter. The least that should happen is they modify the loan to a reasonable interest so you can actually pay it off. Have attorney check with state consumer affairs. They might be investigating this dealer. Sue if they damage your credit rating.
I would also try refinancing with another company. @MikeSp

@MikeSp I'm trying to find the laws in Oregon on interest rates for vehicle loans.
That is very very unreasonable. I have never heard of that kind of interest rate on an auto loan. Also interest is typically paid first. You should notice the principle balance dropping faster with time.

wow!! there's not chance you could refinance it with a lower rate?
morrgin · F
@booboo looking into that too

@morrgin I'm guessing it was a 'buy here pay here" deal?

Wait...29%? So that wasnt a typo? That cant be right. You mean 2.9?
