Online – ACH and debit card payments can be scheduled via eServices online or with the mobile application. You can authorize one-time same day or future dated payments, and monthly automatic recurring payments. Monthly automatic recurring payments are available by ACH only.

Some prepaid debit cards require that you register your card, in addition to activating it, before you can use all of its features. While activating your card generally requires you to call or go online to provide the card number before using it, registering the card may require you to give certain personal information to identify who you are to the prepaid card provider. Please check with your prepaid card provider for its registration requirements.

The additional costs we incur in processing debit card payments are material. While we accept one-time payments via debit card as a convenience to our customers, we prefer automatic recurring payments via ACH. ACH transactions debit your bank account in a manner similar to non-prepaid debit cards. You can schedule automatic recurring payments via eServices online or with the mobile application, or we can mail you an Authorization Agreement for Automatic ACH Payments upon your request.

The additional costs we incur in processing credit card payments are material. We do accept many other payment methods.

Scheduling a one-time future dated payment or a monthly automatic recurring payment will create a tile or tiles on the Schedule tab in eServices.  From a tile, you can delete a scheduled payment before it processes. When possible, scheduled ACH payments are processed up to one (1) business day prior to the payment date. Scheduled debit card payments are processed on the payment date. Once a scheduled payment is processed, it cannot be deleted. If you are unable to delete a tile in eServices, please contact the branch that services your account for assistance or information.

We apply each payment you make first to any assessed fees, then to interest or finance charge, and then to your principal balance.

Interest (if a loan) or finance charge (if a contract) accrues daily on your unpaid principal balance at your interest rate (if a loan) or Annual Percentage Rate (if a contract). In order to calculate how much interest accrues each day, divide your interest rate or APR (as applicable) by 365 (or 366 in a leap year), and then multiply this amount by the unpaid principal balance.

For example, if your unpaid principal balance is $6,000 with a simple interest rate of 29.99%, the calculation is 29.99% (.2999) / 365 = .0008216 x $6,000 = $4.9296 interest per day.

Since interest or finance charge accrues on your principal balance on a daily basis, any delay in repaying your principal balance will result in additional interest or finance charge accruing over the life of your account. The sooner you pay down your principal balance, the less interest will accrue. You can save interest by paying before your payment due date, paying more than your monthly payment amount, or doing both. On the other hand, you will incur additional interest by paying after the payment due date each month, paying less than the monthly payment amount, or doing both.

No. Payments are due on or before your due date, meaning that if a payment is late or not made, your account is in default. However, we do not immediately assess a late charge. Please see your contract or loan documents to review your late charge provision. Please also remember that paying late delays repayment of your principal balance resulting in additional finance charge or interest costs accruing over the life of your account.

Maybe. Often, we work out mutually satisfactory payment plans with customers that are facing a nonrecurring financial problem, but please remember that you will accrue additional interest if you do not pay down your principal balance as scheduled. Please contact the branch that services your account for more information.

Typically, we will allow a customer to change their due date once during the term of their contract or loan, if we decide the change will truly help the customer make future payments on time. Please contact the branch location servicing your account to discuss your request.

Reliable Credit understands that our customers may face temporary financial problems over the course of their account.  We want to help give our customers as many options as possible to assist them through their temporary financial difficulties.  The best thing to do is to contact your branch location to discuss your situation with a customer service representative.  The sooner you contact us, the more options we may have to offer. You can read more about why here.

In the unfortunate event that you need to file an insurance claim on your vehicle that serves as collateral under your account, your claim payment will likely be greater with a $1,000 deductible than with a larger deductible, therefore providing more benefit to you and more security to us.

You can submit proof of coverage via mail, fax, email, or website to:

Maybe.  Often, the amount paid by the GAP will materially reduce the amount you owe, but it won’t actually pay off the entire outstanding balance on your account due to exclusions of coverage, such as interest accrued after the date of loss, any late charges, certain past due payments, and any loan to value limitation.  Please refer to your GAP policy for specific details on the applicable exclusions and how the GAP amount is calculated.  If you provide us with copies of your primary insurance claim settlement (including your deductible information), and any police report from the accident or theft, we’re happy to file a GAP claim on your behalf. Some GAP administrators may require additional documentation to process a claim.

The timing depends on the payment method of the payoff. We will give (if you pay in person) or mail you the title immediately if the account is paid off with a cashier’s check. If another payment method is used, the title will be mailed to you within 10 to 15 days depending on the state where the vehicle was titled.

The unpaid principal balance available through eServices or on your monthly statement is not your payoff amount because your unpaid principal balance does not include accrued finance charges or interest, accrued late charges or other fees (if applicable), and any applicable refunds of insurance premiums.

It is the difference between the amounts that have been paid and the amounts that are due. For example, if you are due for $315 and you only pay $300, then you are $15 short. Conversely, if you are due for $315 and you pay $325, then you are $10 over.

Your payment amount due includes any regular monthly payment(s) due, any unpaid late charges and any prior short or over amount. Provided your account is not in default, the minimum amount necessary to advance your payment due date is the lesser of your payment amount due or regular monthly payment(s) due. However, please remember you will generally accrue less interest or finance charge in the future if you pay the greater of the two amounts. If your account is in default, we may require the greater of the two amounts or a different amount.

No.

Yes. We report to all three national credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. We report on a monthly basis at the end of the month in the standard format required by the credit reporting agencies.

You may dispute any inaccurate information contained in your credit report by initiating a dispute with the consumer reporting agencies, a direct dispute with us, or both. To initiate a dispute with the consumer reporting agencies you can visit www.equifax.com, www.experian.com, or www.transunion.com for more information. To initiate a dispute directly with us, you must provide us sufficient information to identify your account, the specific information you are disputing and supporting documentation, such as a copy of the relevant portion of the credit report containing the information you are disputing, a police report (if applicable), or a fraud or identity theft affidavit (if applicable).

Consumer reports contain several identifiers that help to associate data furnished by multiple creditors to a single consumer.  When we furnish data to the credit reporting agencies (“CRAs”) we must include certain identifiers like full name, date of birth, and Social Security Number (“SSN”).  However, the credit reporting guidance published by the CRAs is clear that the CRAs will not accept an ITIN in the field designated specifically for the SSN as an ITIN and an SSN are not interchangeable.  Without the ITIN as the additional identifier, the CRAs only have the consumer’s name and date of birth and credit reporting may be difficult to associate to a specific consumer based on those two variables alone.

We cannot guarantee that accounts with ITINs will be reported by the CRAs even though we furnish the credit data to the CRAs. It is a very unfortunate disconnect between credit reporting and industry-wide practices.

If you think that an account may have been opened fraudulently, please contact us at (888) 462-3003. Other actions for identity theft victims can be found online at www.identitytheft.gov.

We offer vehicle, property, business, and other insurance products to all qualified customers. We also make available optional ancillary products to our loan customers.  These products are not available to California consumers. For more information, click here.

Furthermore, when you speak with our agents by telephone they may find that you qualify for additional discounts which could save you even more.

Yes. You can cancel your current policy and may be entitled to a prorated refund of your premium. However, make sure your new insurance policy with us is in effect before cancelling to avoid any lapse in coverage.
