For example, in a typical method, a customer visits an automobile dealership and selects a vehicle to purchase. After negotiating the vehicle price, the customer then fills out a lengthy credit application at the dealership and provides any information needed to complete the financing. After receiving dealership credit approval, the customer signs a contract reflecting the purchase and financing terms, such as the monthly payments and Annual Percentage Rate (APR).
