I have a consumer car loan ( truck ) that has not been conventional by any sense of the word. Currently my loan is coming to an end ( 3 payments remain ) and for the past 2 years I have tried to get this corrected with little result. Like most normal car loans you can pay more or completely pay off without any penalty but in my case even when extra payments are paid it 's simply reduced the amount of the next payment instead of reducing principle. Interest rates are also based on the month previous last payment instead of the newest month minus payment paid. I 've gone to my local bank branch several times but have never been given correct information.
