@news24: One of the more popular “hacks” on TikTok is the advice that you should use a personal loan to buy a car rather than use car finance. The logic is that, because a bank does not use the vehicle as collateral for a personal loan, should you default, the bank cannot repossess the vehicle. @mayaonmoney does the math to debunk a popular TikTok myth.

Banks never repossess vehicles bought on personal loan as mostly the money ddnt go to the dealership selling the car but to the customers account

She is also giving advice that feels incomplete, as it does not fully consider why someone might choose a personal loan instead of vehicle finance. In many cases, banks are reluctant to finance vehicles that are older than about 10 years. This can push buyers toward newer cars that are significantly more expensive, even when they may not be necessary for the buyer’s situation. However, some people may prefer a more affordable and reliable option, such as a well-maintained Toyota that is over 10 years old, rather than taking on the higher cost of a new vehicle. In simple terms, using a personal loan to buy a car can make sense if it is more affordable and better suited to your needs, compared to committing to a more expensive new car through vehicle finance.

If you're willing to have a bad credit score for three years, you can choose to stop paying the debt. If you do, make sure you do not make any payments or enter into any payment arrangements during those three years, even if the creditor contacts you. For example, if you have already gone a year without paying and then agree to a payment arrangement, the time you've already accumulated may no longer count, and the three year period may start again. That's why some people end up with debts that are still active many years later they make a payment arrangement, fail to keep it, and the debt becomes active again. If you decide to borrow R200,000 and later stop paying after a few months, be prepared to have a poor credit score for three years. Once the full three years have passed without making any payments, acknowledging the debt, or receiving a court judgment or summons, you can contact TransUnion and explain that the debt is more than three years old, that you made no payments or payment arrangements during that period, and that no judgment was granted against you. You can then request that the debt be removed from your credit report as a prescribed debt. Be confident when explaining your request, as TransUnion may ask questions to verify the information. Also remember that the three year period starts from the date you last made a payment.

I’ve heard this a lot and always wondered about the personal loan interest rates, then I saw they were way higher than vehicle finance and mortgage
