Do you need to pay at once when refinancing

There is no necessity to pay all the pending from the previous agreement when applying for a refinance. Depending on the agreement with the leasing company you an make a payment plan with is devoid of all the interest payments from the previous agreement

How to apply for a refinance

If you want to smooth out the process then it's in your best interest to contact the agent who pitched you the original deal.Otherwise contact the leasing company requesting for a refinance. You will be requested for some images of your vehicle to get a visual evaluation of the state of the vehicle.

After the green light from the leasing company you'll need to submit a valuation report to account for the current status of the vehicle.From thereafter depending on the efficiency of your benefactor you could get things done within your time plan.

Things to consider when applying for a refinance

Refer to an external evaluation report under the consultation of your agent to avoid issues that might arise later

Your older interest rates will be updated to the latest interest rates listed under the company. Even more your total payable will be deducted from the valuation to give you the finance up to 70%

Make sure your revenue license is up to date as you cannot refinance until you have a fully up to date revenue license.
