Welcome to Local Finance, LLC!

Welcome to Local Finance, LLC. Our goal is to assist you in building your credit while paying down and paying off your car loan. We’ll make every effort during this process to provide you with an experience based on knowledge, understanding and respect.

What's The Best Practice To Pay Your Loan?

Paying the most principal and the least interest every month before or on your due date is the best way to pay your loan. If you want to pay your loan off faster, pay early and pay extra principal. There are no pre-payment penalties with Local Finance and you can always pay off your loan in full, refinance with another lender, or trade your car for another car at any time. At this time, we don’t refinance loans or offer loans directly to customers. You will need to visit a PARTICIPATING dealer to get a new car loan with Local. We are more than happy to assist you with options when your credit has improved.

Is There A Grace Period?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a ‘grace period.’ When you don’t pay before or on your due date, you will pay more interest and less principal. Ten days past your due date, you will be assessed up to $15 of late fees in addition to the ten extra days of interest. It is important to pay on time or early so you can avoid penalties.

Can I Pay by Phone, Computer or App?

You can also pay by phone at (305) 650-3442 via electronic funds transfer (EFT) or debit card (debit card phone payments incur a $5 processing fee).
