My friend has a lot of debts and now being collected by debt collectors

My friend is a busy person and likes to explore new things. He has a way of living that an average person cannot cope up with. He likes to start businesses and it suddenly stops it. Recently he loaned from another bank for him to open another business. The bank approved his proposal and lend him the money. After a few months a lot of debt collectors comes to find him to collect his debts. Can he use his credit card to pay for those?

    There are people like this, who likes to start a business and suddenly stops it even though he did not gain a profit. They do not have the guts to be a business person. They usually loans a lot and hides when it comes to payment. In this situation, the banks sends a debt collector for them. The person cannot use his credit cards because his accounts are hold and it the banks who are charging him.

The first thing you need to do is contact the credit card company. If your card is already used before you report it the company will not shoulder all the expenses.

should I use mine or should I avoid all completely

You just need to way out if it would be a priority to spend the money now and pay for it later, its all about answering the question of it being necessary? Because if it isnt then it I strongly suggest that you put the credit card down and just save up, credit cards pile up with interest but I dont think the interest that you expect is as big as you think, especially if you are able to pay for it in the span of months.

A no-no for individuals seeking the cheapest car loan

This car loan is a no-no for individuals seeking the cheapest car loan or borrowers seeking to refinance their existing car loan as interest rates of 2.78% and 2.98% don’t come cheap. Irrespective, UOB could be a good backup source of car financing for individuals that are not approved for loans from other banks. Additionally, the bank is unique because it offers flexible car loan repayment schemes and Certificate of Entitlement (COE) loans for used cars.

Lowest rates for new and used car loans in Singapore

DBS charges interest rate of 2.28% for its car loans to individuals that apply online and that is the lowest rate offered for both new and used car loans in Singapore. In my opinion this makes DBS the most affordable option for those that require financing in order to purchase a vehicle. It is also worth noting that DBS is currently offering an even lower rate for the purchase of used cars (1.99% p.a.) in a promotion.

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore

This may be the cheapest car loan refinancing option in Singapore as the bank allows borrowers to refinance their existing car loans for a very competitive rate of 2.08%, which is much cheaper than most rates for new loans. While the bank also offers loans for the purchase of new and used vehicles, these rates of 2.78% and 2.98% are not the cheapest available. If you are approved to refinance your existing car loan from another bank, you may be able to save thousands of dollars by switching to OCBC due to its refinance rate of 2.08%, which is significantly cheaper than those of most car loans offered by lenders in Singapore.
