149.0. "Questions on HELofC ?" by DNEAST::STEVENS_JIM () Tue Dec 27 1988 10:48

    I have searched most of the notes for the answers to these questions
    with no success.. Maybe someone can answer them for me.
    
    	1) When you pay on the PRINCIPLE only, does the DCU calculate
    	   the interest on the new balance ? I guess a better way to
    	   phrase this question is, how does the interest get 
           calculated ?
    
    	2) How often does the DCU increase the interest rate ?
    	      In the 18 months I have had a HELofC, it has increased
    	      three times.
    
    	3) Is there a maximum interest rate they can charge ?
    
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me..

    re: .0 - Assuming you are talking about paying the principal portion
    of a loan payment (mortgage or otherwise), the interest is calculated
    on the outstanding balance, including any unpaid interest portions.
    
    Some variable rate loans allow for adjustment of the rate every
    six months, which in your case of 18 months would indeed be three
    adjustments/increases.
    
    What is a "HELofC" pray tell?
