2. Understanding the Issue
2.1 Early Loan Settlement
Definition: Early loan settlement refers to repaying a car loan before the agreed tenure. Challenges typically arise from penalties calculated using methods like the Rule of 78, which front-loads interest costs.
Common Causes:
- Incorrect penalty calculations.
- Failure to use tools like X star’s Redemption Penalty Calculator.
2.2 COE Renewal Loan Challenges
Definition: COE renewal loans finance the extension of a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) for vehicles. Rejections often occur due to PQP mismatches or incomplete submissions.
Common Causes:
- Incorrect PQP data for vehicle category.
- Missing required documentation like ownership records.
2.3 Refinancing Errors
Definition: Refinancing replaces an existing car loan with a new one under better terms. Errors typically stem from poor credit scores or inaccurate vehicle valuations.
Common Causes:
- Incomplete credit assessment reports.
- Outdated vehicle valuation data.
