Turning The Engine With Bad Credit
Written by D. Bernard
The emphasis that creditors place on an individual’s credit score has gotten completely out of hand. Credit scores can, and often do, drop significantly-
seemingly overnight, and debtors can place negative lines of credit on your report even though they had never reported your positive payment history to them.
These reporting practices are unfair and can happen if you don't pay a utility bill, miss a cell phone bill, miss a furniture payment, had a vehicle
repossessed from a 'Buy Here-Pay Here' dealership or unpaid court fines. These negative lines of credit will usually stay on your credit report for 7 years
even after you have paid off the delinquency, and lower your FICO score tremendously.Being 30 days late on credit cards, missing a student loan payment(s),
vehicle repossessions, home or business foreclosure, bankruptcies and even divorce all have an adverse effect on your credit score making it nearly
impossible to acquire an auto loan or refinance.
Sufferers of the 'Bad Credit Flu' will begin to search for ways to boost their credit scores. But, try as they might, will learn the sound of denial quickly
and often, with cruelty. And as Murphy's Law is watching you, he will surface during your time of credit deficiency and play Dr. Kevorkian on your vehicle,
turning it into the world’s most expensive paper weight! Bring on the auto loan search.
For those of you that have tried to acquire automotive financing with a score of less than 600, know how difficult it is to drive home in a new vehicle, not
to mention the high level of embarrassment you receive from the dealerships sales staff. Completely unnecessary. And how many times can you hear the word
'No' before you give up hope and curl into a ball. But there is hope. Many companies have found a resource for unloading their lending capital. Bad credit.
Funding groups such as Lending Tree, established a database of lenders to more or less “fight” one another for your business. Your one application will go to
a handful of lenders that will fit your specific credit and financial position and offer you their best rate. This leaves you with options and also a secured
loan to take to a dealership. Unfortunately, Lending Tree does not like wasting a lot of time with “second chance” or “high risk” automotive loans.
You do still have options. Companies like VehicleLoansNow.com specialize in finding auto loans for those in
need of a second chance and are also considered high risk. Companies like VehicleLoansNow.com operate the same
way as Lending Tree, in the sense that they house their own lenders who will offer you their best auto loan rates, only, they loan to those with bad credit,
bankruptcy, divorce, medical bills, etc and usually have funds ready in less than 24 hours.
A simple Google search will help you find these types of database lenders.
Look for a lender or broker that will not only find you a bad credit auto loan but will also offer you tools to
help boost your credit score back to a respectful level. Most of these brokers are paid by lenders after you complete an online application, and are not at
all interested in your credit score or in helping you to repair it. It is a good idea to stay away from these types of brokers. Usually, their lender’s
interest rates are through the roof, and the required down payments can be as high as 50%!
Just do your homework and a little research and you will be in your new or used – car, truck, van or SUV in no time.
