Absolutely! The reason the auto was repossessed in the first place was that the original loan contract was violated - the payments were not paid when due. When the new loan with the co-signer is initiated, the interest rate is adjusted commensurate with whatever the current rate is. When a person is consistently late with payments, they become at risk with any loaning agency. Being a higher risk only ensures your interest rate will always be higher. The only way to reduce that risky interest rate is to conistently pay ALL your bills on time, and never miss any payments, and do this for, say, two years. Missing just one month can wreak havoc with your credit rating for many years in the future. It's just not worth it to not pay.

What is the best way for a banker to raise interest rates without the knowledge of the public?

it is currently illegal for banks to raise interest without a full authentic notification for the consumer under the dodd-frank act in 2013. To do so would be very hard to near impossible. The only way a bank could raise interest would be a permanent change to all the consumers contract, on both interest rates and fee's. The bank then could have a well hidden statement of the policy however, the consumer would know through any billing statement. By doing this would lose the bank a large amount of costumers.

Can your landlord raise your rent if you're on workman'scompensation?

More than likely yes. It all depend on the contract / renter agreement you signed. If the contract reads that the landlord can raise the rent at any given time then yes.If the contract reads the landlord can raise rent at the end of a lease term (for example 6 months.) then also yes.Unless the agreement states the landlord cannot raise rent 1. during a lease period, or 2. at all then he can raise it regardless of your income situation.You may try and talk to your landlord and explain the situation and they might have some compassion for your situation.
