Title: Loans
admin - March 21, 2007 11:24 PM (GMT)
On your left navigation menu you have a link called Loans. This is the place to go if you need extra money for your driver. There you will see a link called Request New Loan which will take you to the Take Out A Loan screen. Here you see driver ID, current cash available, interest rate, and loan amount. As a new driver you can get a loan from $50.00 to $1000.00 (the loans are in increments of 50's). As your driver rating increases you can take out more money (Driver Rating * 100) up to a maximum of $5,000. A 2% weekly interest rate will be applied to the first loan you take out and the interest rate will increase by one point for every new loan you take out. Interest is calculated on Mondays at 12:00 AM. Once you take out a loan the following information will be displayed for each of your driver’s loans:
Loan Date: The date you took out the loan.
Loan Amount: How much you took out.
Interest: The weeklyinterest rate you will pay for the loan.
Paid: The total amount you have paid on the loan.
Owed: Shows how much money you owe on the loan.
Payments: Details if the loan is closed. If not a form will display to make payments your loan

Could the loan repayment be changed so that we can pay back in increments as opposed to coming up with the full amount to pay off the loan at once?

That would make much more sense.

I've added the ability to make payments on your loans. Everyone's existing loan interest owed has been reset to zero. It will begin to accrue new interest owed on a daily basis based on the amount owed times the interest rate of the loan.

I had 2 ideas well one was mine and one was Mark2600's
1) a set date to pay the loan, or you get penalized ON TOP of the interest.
2) having a credit system, so if you are late you cant get a loan or a business.

hmmm...it's okay, i suppose. it would make it harder for us though...which deters people from getting loans...which might be good. :(

I understand that the interest rates go up on loans..the second is higher than the first, the third even higher. Is this for multiple OUTSTANDING loans or do those interest rates go up even after you pay back a loan. For example, if I get a loan and pay it back and then get another loan, will it be at the 2% or 3%? Thanks.

Also did this get changed or not implemented?

Can you change loans so they didn't update at midnight on Sunday? Instead the interests adds in 7 days after you took out the loan. Cause ingame it's very decieving since it says 5% a Week, a week to me is 7 days. Yet my loan increase with having a loan for one day.
