How borrowing works locally

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.

A deposit or trade-in reduces the amount financed and therefore the interest charged over the term. A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.

The Nova Scotia rules that apply
