Ordering a Dell PC

[Jan]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I submitted an order to Dell for a 4600. I have until tomorrow morning
to cancel the deal. I am financing it through Dell and I thought I would
be getting a cheaper interest but the pdf contract they have e-mailed me
shows the interest rate at 28 percent! I find this very high. Has anyone
used Dell financing and convinced them to reduce the interest rate. TIA.

Financing an equipment purchase like this through the
vendor/vendor's contracted finance company will never be the best
choice unless it is your only choice. If you need to finance
your purchase over time, your best bet is to arrange your own,
through your bank, or any one of several alternatives, where you
have a better chance at a reasonable rate.

Dell's interest rates are based on your credit reliability. If your interest
rate is that high, it is most likely do to you having bad credit. If,
however, you have a good credit history, I'd give Dell a call and talk to
them. It never hurts to ask. You could always hint that if you don't get a
lower interest rate, that you might go elsewhere???

I phoned and told them they had to cut me some slack with the interest
rate or cancel the order and they lowered the rate a bit. My credit
rating was bad but I have cleared my debts up but guess the bad rating
sticks around for a long time. The lower interest rate is not quite as
much as I had hoped but will still save me quite a bit over the term.
Now I just hope it is a good and reliable pc!

Your credit rating doesn't *suddenly* become "good" when you pay off
your debts.

Depending on the amount, and how long it took to pay it off, it could
take *years* to improve your credit rating.

Are you sure? I suspect many "rich" only appear that way because they
are so far in debt their creditors can't afford to let them fall into
bankruptcy. (Dunno about Billy though.


Cheers, Phred.

I suppose you are being humorous but you are inaccurate. You are
repeating an urban myth. According to a Rush Limbaugh article "...top
1% is paying 33.89% of taxes" from a Rush Limbaugh quote at
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com and the updated IRS numbers that Rush
references can be found at
http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/pub/irs-soi/01in01ts.xls .

The only reason you are in debt is that you buy stuff you can't afford.
That is justifiable in the case of a mortgage, but carrying consumer
debt is foolish. That is the path to debt slavery.
