Bad Credit Car Finance
Posted on 20 April 2015
Nowadays you see a lot of people advertising Bad Credit Car Loans or Poor Credit Car Finance, but what does it really mean? And who will qualify for this?
Most of the time, when a finance company talks about ‘bad credit’ they are referring to a low credit score or poor credit report, but all finance companies definition of bad or poor will vary!
Why will I have a low credit score?
Your credit score is affected by many things but the common ones are;
• Credit defaults
• Past repossession
• Bankruptcy or No Asset Procedure
• A high volume of credit enquires
So which factors are the most important?
Well, they are all considered together and different combination can results in different outcomes.
As a guideline, Community Financial Services can help you arrange car finance even if you have had a few credit hiccups in the past.
• If you have had small defaults to things such a gyms or the power company we can often get you pre-approved for a car loan.
• If you have larger defaults, but they are paid or you are paying them off we can often get you pre-approved for car finance.
• If you have a high number of credit enquires, but no defaults or repossessions we can often get you pre-approved for a car loan.
Still not sure if you qualify?
