Now what happens if on this loan the bank says they are charging a low 5% intrest rate. But somewhere deep in the fine print the 5% intrest rate is per month not per year? The idea is banks advertise their intrest rate per month by specifying a 5% intrest rate their playing on the fact that people are used to seeing it as a yearly rate. The same goes for this TV people see a picture of a big TV and the auction is tilted 52" TV it is very missleading.
