I went to Dave sinclair Ford one day when i got off early from work, decided to buy a used truck. Ok no big deal right? Well well after i found the truck get to the finanace dept. And see that the pmt is a little high but o'well its ok. Then i see that the rate is 15.5%!!!???!!! What! Well sir "its because your credit score is in the 500's... So i asked who they used for credit reporting, he stated everyone in the car industry uses equafax! That sucks b/c i have a 780 score with transunion.
Yesterday i go and buy another car from a diffrent dealer, scores still the same (all three)
i was floored when i was given a 4.3% rate. I asked the finanace guy who he pulled credit from, he stated the auto industry as a whole uses transunion unless they go after subprime customers!!!
So they beat me up on my lower of the 3 scors just to sell the higher rate.
Now in the housing market that would be a violation of ECOA, i wonder if there is a law for that.
Dont use dave sinclair for any of your financing!!!
