Default harley financial question

Does anyone know if Harley Financial has any kind of payment help if you lose work and can't make a loan payment anything to help keep your loan active just temporarily lower the interest rate or something like that to make the payment lower for a set time frame. i know i am talking about Harley Davidson and they don't care very much about the customer after you sign the paperwork on the bike you just bought but had to ask... thanks

I had to be off work for surgery for 12 weeks. They let me pay interest only for 3 months.

You can bet with 55 million dollars in repo and no one to pick them them up . They will work with you.

I dont think they will lower your interest rate. That's how they their money with the interest you are paying. I'm sure if you call and get someone that isnt in a bad mood or total ahole you might get someone to be able to help you out.

Have you asked HDFS if there are any loan modification programs available ?

In HD's interests to keep the bike with you and find some way for you to pay something each month. Overall you will probably pay more so it is a win for them.

Over here loans had insurance protection polices available but there was a massive mis-selling scandal so I don't know if it is still done.

Give them a call. Don’t pay attention to the interwebs lawyers.

If I recall correctly, there’s a plan. I used them to initially finance my bike as my DA didn’t get my prequalification with credit union. It was spur of the moment buy.

Of course it requires some form of payment. Later…or it’s put into loan.

Just call them. Won’t matter who answers. They have interest in keeping you on good terms, pun intended.

Good luck.

And clue us in on how you do know HD doesn’t care after you sign ze papers ?
