He explained to CTV News that he needed to get a wheelchair and make modifications to his home, which was why he took out a $4,500 loan, which he was paying back at about $200 per month.
O’Halloran said he did refinance his loan once but was shocked to find out three-quarters of his payment was going towards interest, and he still owes $3,697.
In O’Halloran’s case, of the $196 paid each month, $147 of his payment is applied towards the interest, and only $50 is paid into the principal balance of the loan.
The criminal rate of interest that could be charged before Jan. 1, 2025, was almost 48 per cent. It’s now capped at 35 per cent interest. However, for those who had existing loans before the changes were made, they are still paying the higher amount.
