        STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL
                     FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
                 CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS


        I, Donald R. Breivogel, Jr., Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of American General Finance Corporation, state and attest that:

        (1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
        reports of American General Finance Corporation, and, except as
        corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

                -       No covered report contained an untrue statement of a
                        material fact as of the end of the period covered by
                        such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K as
                        of the date on which it was filed); and

                -       No covered report omitted to state a material fact
                        necessary to make the statements in the covered report,
                        in light of the circumstances under which they were
                        made, not misleading as of the end of the period covered
                        by such report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K
                        as of the date on which it was filed).

        (2) American General Finance Corporation does not have an audit
        committee of the Board of Directors.

        (3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
        before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

                -       The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
                        December 31, 2001, of American General Finance
                        Corporation;

                -       All quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and all reports on
                        Form 8-K of American General Finance Corporation filed
                        with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent
                        to the filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

                -       Any amendments to any of the foregoing.
