Is it Safe to Use Online Car Finance?
Online car finance is convenient. You can apply over the net
and shop around for a good deal from the comfort of your
home.
But with the rise of scams on the net there are precautions
you should take to make sure you are not being ripped off.
Car Finance Safety Tips
1) If you are in an english speaking country, the website you
are dealing with should be in english. If the English is poor it
could be a scam site.
2) Only deal with companies that publish full contact details
on their site, such as phone numbers, preferably one in your
country. Also they should maintain a physical office and also
publish that on the web. A reputable company will have an
office.
3) They should be listed in the phone directory as well,
either the yellow or white pages.
4) No bank or finance company will ever send you an email
asking for your passwords or account details.
5) Check a number of companies out before you make your
decision. Compare the rates. Read all the terms and
conditions.
6) E-loan and Capital One are two safe online finance
companies and have passed all these checks from my research.
7) I recently reviewed an offer from a finance company that
looked like it was from Russia, who didn't even have a phone
number. They had all manner of explanations but it is simply not
good enough. So go with professional companies. Remember, there
is no such thing as something for nothing
Remember to seek competent advice from a professional such as
accountant before making financial decisions.
