zYour Money's Wortlc Beware Of The Fine Print On Interest Free' Loans The Beefeater Is A Gin, Not A Restaurant DETROIT (KNI)-A 20-year legal bai centuries old nickname of an of the guard the Beef forced a Midwestern restaur change its name. of the Beefeater restaurants The Sign of the Beefcarver by result of a successful lawsuit tie over the eater has ant chain to The Sign will become March 1, the The chain, English yeoman the British protect its distiller of Beefeater gin to trademark. founded here in 1957, oper If you were offered an interest-free loan of $1,500 for three months during which you easily could invest the money at well over 9 percent, would you grab it? Dial Finance a veteran consumer finance firm headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, has been dangling this goodie off and on before new customers for the past six months. Dial operates in approximately 35 states and is a respectable and savvy company. It has attracted thousands with ads promising: "Interest-free loan! Special get-acquainted holiday offer lets you borrow up to $1,500 without interest for three months." A free loan is tempting at any time.

Today, with the cost of borrowing reaching for new highs, it is close to irresistible. (E-ven the nation's most credit worthy "prime" borrowers are being officially charged almost 12 percent by banks across the country and much stiffer inter- est rates unofficially (under the counter). How, then, can Dial Finance extend loans, even for so short a span as 90 days, interest free? Here's the tale behind such consumer finance ad campaigns: "Ml) Dial's "interest-free" loan is available only to new and "qualified" customers. The company retains the right to determine who is and who is not "qualified." It is looking for borrowers who in the past have rarely even thought of visiting a finance company, much less actually using one. It is seeking professional, white-collar and managerial individuals, engineers, lawyers, accountants, teachers, the like, who earn above-average salaries, have well-established credit records and plenty of sound collateral, such as houses, cars, boats, furnishings.

(2) The short-term loan is truly "free" only to the borrower who can repay it in full within the allotted three months. In general, workers in the lower-income groups cannot raise this much cash in so short a time. Thus, the terms of the offer, which seem so appealing across the board at first glance, in themselves help to limit the loans to the category of borrower who usually doesn't need them. (3) If a Dial customer fails to repay the interest-free loan within the 90-day period, the finance company levies finance charges on the full amount of the loan from day one. In fact, the Dial loan program is so structured that all participants sign regular installment loan contracts when they accept the "interest-free" mon- ates iz restaurants in the Detroit metropolitan area and three in Chicago.

It was acquired by Montgomery Ward the department store chain, several years ago. "Beefeater gin is famous and celebrated throughout the U.S.," Henry Lau-terstein, attorney, said for the distiller, James Burroughs Ltd. the name and uniqueness, a likelihood of confusion. quite a lot of these lawsuits particularly with restaurants, added. "I'm glad to tell you up.

Sign of the Beefeater "restaur ey. In effect, they are paying a finance charge each month along with a portion of the principal. At the end of the 90 days, when they repay the full amount of their loans, the finance charges are refunded. A full 15 to 25 percent of the 15,000 customers who obtained interest-free laons during this past Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year's holiday season will not repay the full amounts of the loans within three months. Dial marketing executives estimate.

These borrowers then will become regular finance company customers, paying from 18 to more than 23 percent annual interest on their loans. The rates that finance companies charge vary, depending on the state in which they conduct business. A Californian, for instance, who borrows $1,500 from a neighborhood Dial office and discovers he needs 24 months to repay could end up turning over a total of $1,896 for his so-called "free" loan of 4 Because they customarily cater to riskier borrowers than banks, credit unions and other financial institutions, which is their stated function in the money mar- -kets, finance companies usually charge much higher rates than these other lenders. They also frequently impose higher finance charges on the individual seeking a small loan than on the borrower obtaining a big sum of money. There is no disputing the value of the consumer finance company's funds to the riskier, smaller borrower which is the reason the companies have flourished for so long a period and grown to occupy so significant a place among our lending institutions.

But there are few, if any, free lunches in real life especially from consumer finance companies in business to make profits from their operations. The very offer of a loan at zero interest should arouse your skepticism. The source of such generous loans should raise your cynicism to a high notch.

It got as low as 5.5 percent in December 1976 when the Dow Jones industrial average was over 1,000 and about to crack. Equally significantly, the previous high of 41.1 percent skeptics was set last March (with the Dow at 758 and about to stage a 150 point rally.) The sums involved are so huge (these institutions control anywhere from less than $2 million to more than $10 billion each) that the average investor may wonder what, if anything, this all has to do with him. But the truth is that the much-derided individual investor has steadily outperformed the institutions in recent years not least, perhaps because institutional behavior is so herdlike and predictable.

The tendency of these investing behemoths both to act in concert and to act incorrectly is strikingly illustrated by these surveys. When nearly all of them were fully invested, the market was at its peak; when their enthusiasm for stocks was lowest, a rally was at hand. Indeed, the only possibly worrisome result of the latest survey is that a record 46.1 percent of those responding said they planned to buy more stocks soon. It's fine for the institutions to be super bearish and pile up cash (they're usually wrong), but not so great for them to be so bullish longer-term (ditto). Merrill Lynch's Hans J.

Schueren comments acidly that "we may have to wait for sentiment to turn more pessimistic" before a real bull market develops. Nonetheless, the big institutions clearly seem to be running true to form, in a pack. stocks and the demand being that wants to buy them. When is used un. because evervone is tic that he has already become invested, there's no one left to sell to, so prices de- 'cline.

(The part representing interest is taxable to you; the part representing your return of principal isn't.) It would be a good safe investment for you, and there's only one danger in it, the danger of spending that returned principal as you get it, just as you do the interest Remember that in about 12 years (that's the life of the average Ginny Mae) the money stops, both interest and principal. So you've got to vow to reinvest that principal portion as you receive it. I bought some stock on the 25th of the month. The "date of record" was the 31st. But I did not get the dividend because the disburser (a bank) said the stock was issued the seventh of the following month and therefore I was not on record until then.

Does it usually take this long to get "on record?" I thought the date of record was the date the sale took place, not when they get around to issuing the stock. A. Computerization notwithstanding, there is still a time lag here in getting the name of the old owner off the books and the name of the new one on, and that takes about five business days. I don't know what month we're talking about here (how many days are in that month, whether a weekend was involved which it apparently was or whether there was also a holiday). The best way to determine once and for, all if the bank is right or not is to go back to the newspaper files on the day you entered your "buy" order If the symbol appears there, it means that, sure enough, you weren't entitled to the dividend.
