I'm no financial wiz, but I was contacted by WFF to see if I could use a loan. They call all the time, over and over. This time I said OK what do you have? I went in to the Burbank office and they said they sould give me a loan for $11,400 if I re-fi'ed a car with them and they over-valued the car to create phantom equity. I don't love GMAC so I said I would look at the numbers. HOLY s**t!!! To get the $11,400 they want anywhere from $510 per month over 6.6 years to $752 per month over 3 years. HERE'S THE TRUTH: Using the APR calculators at FairIssac, LendingTree and BankRate.com, and they all agreed, the $510 deal over 5.5 years garnered $22,260 in interest (just interest) and equated to a cool 50% interest rate. The $752 deal repayed over 3 years equated to (bend over) 68.5%. Quite usury, don't you think? When I inquired about the loans interest rate, they responded "we don't like to think in terms of interest rate". I cound see why. Even though they would fake the secured vehicles value, it would have been effectively a secured loan. I recommend if contacted by WFF to simply hang up, or in the alternative, run like hell. I'm not even sure it's legal in California. Heres a better picture:

are you sure wells is not adding the pay off of your car to the loan, that would only make sense.
