276.0. "Deductions for new-car loan" by JAWS::ENSLEY () Tue Sep 03 1991 17:41

    If you take out a new car loan from the DCU, and have the
    payments deducted from your paycheck, what happens to the
    weekly payments when the loan is paid off?  Does the amount
    that was deducted go back into your take-home pay?

    That's not what happened to me when my car loan through DCU was paid.
    The payment kept going to the loan escrow account and at the end of
    each month whatever was in the escrow was transferred to savings 1.
    It changed ONLY WHEN I made out a new deduction card.
    
    Granted, this was 2 years ago, so their policy may have changed in
    the mean time.

276.3.2 reflects my experienceLEDS::PRIBORSKYI'd rather be raftingWed Sep 04 1991 10:069
    Re: .0:  I believe that it won't.  The reason is that you sign a card
    that tells Payroll to take $n each week and give it to DCU.  It's a
    fixed deduction - payroll only gets the sum total.  Payroll does not
    know what DCU does with that money.   DCU uses the distribution into
    the various accounts until you change it.  So, indeed, I would expect
    payments to go into the escrow account.  I would have expected the
    funds to stay there until the end of the quarter at which time excess
    balance (each quarter has one 5-week month) is normally transferred to
    savings #1.
276.4...end of each quarter, not month...BTOVT::EDSON_DTime for a DCU Coup!Wed Sep 04 1991 11:494
    .3 is correct in that the money transfers to savings 1 at the end of
    each quarter, not the end of each month like I stated in .2

276.5Interest??MURPHY::ENSLEYWed Sep 04 1991 14:123
    RE: .2, .3, .4
    
    Does the money gain interest while it's in the escrow account?
276.6Interest is paid on escrow accounts...BTOVT::EDSON_DTime for a DCU Coup!Wed Sep 04 1991 15:075
    Interest?  Yes.  I just spoke with the DCU branch manager here and
    she says that it pays interest at the same rate as the checking
    accounts.  Only, there's no minimum required.

I wonder if you can open an escrow account without a loan }8-)}

    re .7
    
    Yeah, I wondered that myself!  8-)
    
    Now, if they'd just give us some checks with that escrow I'd close
    out my checking account.

    	They close out your escrow account when your loans are paid off,
    	so I suspect they watch that.

    re .9
    
    Really?  When did this start?  As I stated earlier in this note, I
    had to fill out a new deduction card when my loan was paid off to
    eliminate the escrow account.  Note:  That was a couple of years
    ago.

    	You guys have reminded me how it went.  Yes, I had to fill out
    	the deductions card too.
