How many times have we heard of someone who felt they had made a bad deal or a bad payment plan choice? From the choice of the lender to an unfavorable interest rate, a personal loan instead of a car loan or whatever it may be. Some mistakes can be corrected. Others can not. It is all in the shopping.
Within The First Three Days
If you suddenly repent and wish to cancel the loan that you have just signed up, you have a right to do so, until three days after the closing date, no questions asked. Now, what you paid at closing is another matter. You will be cancelling insurance, together with the loan. All kinds of insurance are left without force, because their action has an effect on the duration of the loan or at least part of it, such is the case of PMI.
All the fees that were paid to a person or entity to do a job, checking or paperwork that needs to be done prior to the closing, will be reimbursed. Even the asking for your credit report, check whether there was no dispute over the title deed and others. All those expenses are returned.
The Lender
If you want to change the lender, you have all the right to do so, but you must evaluate how much you can save with the new deal. If the loan is a mortgage or a long personal loan it might pay to change, otherwise the new deal had better be a whacking good deal, or it will not be worth while.
Well, But What Can Be Corrected?
For example, a short term can be refinanced into a longer one. Likewise, the opposite is possible too. You might do good in finding out when you have the possibility to make these changes, since it could be quite different depending on the broker or lender and what kind of loan it is. Together with the duration of the loan, you can change the character of the interest rate, from fixed to adjustable or the other way around.
These features can be corrected but it is miles better to know exactly what to expect from your loan and leave the possible corrections for an escape, should something unexpected happen. Something that can not be changed is the interest rate, which is something totally inherent to the lender and the deal you closed. You can not go back to your lender and try to negotiate a lower rate.
Your Biggest Asset
As a consumer, your biggest asset is the liberty to choose and the only way to choose is by knowing what options you have, naturally. In turn, you will know the options that are available to you by investigating. We will not tire of saying this. Look around, but just look and take note. Take your time to find out what the best offer is.
If you do not have a bank that you specially trust, a good possibility is a broker. Brokers have a very wide range of loans and mortgages and one will surely be adequate for you.
