How does my credit score affect my auto loan interest rate? Your credit score plays a significant role in determining the interest rate on your auto loan. Generally, a higher credit score will qualify you for a lower interest rate, which can reduce the total cost of the loan. Conversely, a lower credit score may result in a higher interest rate and higher monthly payments. Speak to a financial advisor for your personal situation.
Can I pay off my auto loan early, and are there any penalties for doing so? With DFCU you can pay your auto loan off early without penalties, which can save you money on interest! Be sure to speak with a member service representative for exact details on your auto loan at the time of funding.
Are there any late charges or processing fees? Late payment charge (more than 10 days late): 20% of the interest due that month. $50 Documentation Processing Fee.

Members are eligible to use DFCU's Skip-a-Pay service after six (6) consecutive payments on eligible loans, loan must be in good standing. If you do not include the $50 skip processing fee with your request or if there are insufficient funds available in the account you specify to pay the fee, your Skip-A-Pay request will not be processed, and your regularly scheduled loan payment must be paid. If you take advantage of this Skip-A-Pay offer, your loan will continue to accrue interest during that time. While deferring your next loan payment will extend the term of your loan, you always have the option of making additional or larger payments in the future with no prepayment penalty to pay down your loan faster. By accepting this offer, you request that Downey Federal Credit Union (DFCU) defer your next loan payment for the loan indicated. You also understand and agree that: (1) finance charges will continue to accrue at the rate provided in your original loan agreement, during and after that time; (2) deferring your next payment will result in you having to pay higher total finance charges than if you made your payments as originally scheduled; (3) this payment deferral will extend the term of your loan by one month and you will have to make extra payments after your loan would otherwise be paid off; and (4) you will be required to resume your next regularly scheduled monthly payment in the month following the deferred payment. All payment deferral requests are subject to DFCU approval. All DFCU accounts must be in good standing. All your DFCU loans must be current (have no amounts past due) at the time you choose to accept this offer for your qualifying loan. Certain other restrictions may apply.
