I am thinking of leaving a full time role to set up my own business but concerned about the initial cashflow. Everyone is telling me to go for it so I’d like to ask about finance and can I extend my home loan before starting the business. The unit is probably worth 500k and the home loan is $210k. Is this a good way to get started as I already have a number of clients in the waiting?

My car has been hitten by another car while I was waiting for the traffic light about 10days ago. I only have third party cover insurance, car driver who hitted my car said it is company car so he will submit the form when he goes to work. I’ve contacted insurance company which that car has insured, but they are saying there is no claim have been submitted. I contacted the driver but he is saying that he submitted the form to cfo, nothing he can do at the moment. What should I do now?

Hi we are in a predicament. We live on a big block of land in our current home. We are in final stages with council for an approved DA to subdivide the land and build a new home on it. We will sell the one we are in and live in the new one. Problem is we have no money to finish the existing home, sell it and then build the new one. Once existing home sold we will be laughing however the bank won't lend us money to finish. We are stuck, any advice appreciated?

I have saved $28,000 and found a unit I would like to make an offer on… around $600,000. My income is $110,000 and the mortgage broker I spoke to suggested a family guarantee loan but when he found out my parents had a loan on their property he said it wasn’t possible. Their loan is only $90,000 and they have plenty of equity. Is what the broker said right and are there any other options available?

When I turned 18 I was ignorant and went and got a credit card straight away. I neglected to make any repayments and as such have a poor credit rating now. 5 years later and I just recently bought a new car and the finance is 19% p.a.

The cars market value is about $20,000 but the loan is $29,000 roughly. I can get a novated lease to the market value of the car but need to get rid of the gap. Is there any way to do this? Haven't missed any payments on my finance for the past 2 years.

Comment: Come on Australian Home Loan borrowers, we need to reverse these headlines

• 85% of Australian mortgage holders don’t know their home loan rate

Let’s be more proactive to find out the interest rate on our home loans and call your lender today to get a better rate. If you’re not sure how simply ask a question or call your mortgage or finance broker to help.

Could one call save you thousands?
