FICO Score Needed for Auto Loan

2011-10-23T18:05:00.001-07:00

Just noticed that my wife's FICO score is starting to work it's way up and is now at 649. i know the score still needs work, but it's nice to see it trending up to the point that we might in fact qualify for a car loan.

My FICO score is still at 588 so it puts me in the bad credit auto loan column but at least the wife's is getting better.

Why You Should Avoid Consolidating Your Credit Card Accounts

2011-08-26T15:23:00.000-07:00

Why You Should Avoid Consolidating Your Credit Card Accounts

If you have five credit credit cards with small balances, it may seem like a good idea to consolidate them all into one single credit card account. After all, you'll have a smaller quantity of cards to manage and your interest rate might even improve. So why shouldn't do this?

The credit reporting agencies would much rather see five small balance cards than one high balance account. It might be easier for you to manage a single account but your credit score will very likely take a ding if you choose to do this.

A word to the wise... since getting a car loan, and any loan for that matter, is based on your credit score, it's important to manage everything that might affect that score negatively.

How to Survive Bankruptcy

How to Survive Bankruptcy

How to Survive Bankruptcy is a simple, inexpensive and absolutely invaluable guide to bankruptcy survival. If you are wanting to learn about the bankruptcy process from the early stages (worrying and contemplating) through the end stages (recovery and rejoicing), then this is what I would consider required reading.

Many people are embarrassed to buy a bankruptcy book at the local bookstore and they often canot afford an initial consultation with an attorney. This book is under $30 and can be read online! LOL - my own attorney would have charged me $200 or more for this same information!

More information is available on the How to Survive Bankruptcy Website.

Can the Credit Repair Secret Code Deliver?

Can the Credit Repair Secret Code Deliver?

I'm reading an eBook called "Credit Repair Secret Code" that claims it can help a person can raise their FICO score from 350 - 750+ in 90 days or less. I'll report back with a review in a litlle bit once I have read the book.

Read more...

I'm back with a review:

The Credit Repair Secret Code takes the approach of exploiting flaws in the credit reporting system, then discusses how these flaws can force the 3 major credit reporting agences (Transunion, Equifax, and Experian) to instantly fix the errors in your credit report.

Will it work? YES! This system was created to raise your credit score to a point you never thought were possible. It will quickly stop your bill collectors dead in their tracks and it will help you raise your credit score by as much as 350+ points in 90 days or less.

Oh, and it also shows an effective way to remove bankruptcies before the 10 year clock - like remove bankruptcies right now.

Repairing Your Credit | Get a REAL Auto Loan

2009-05-30T21:21:00.001-07:00

Restoring Your Good Credit

We have talked at length about obtaining a bad credit auto loan, but lets shift gears and talk about restoring your credit situation so that you can get a regular auto loan in the future.

Why Do I Need a Good Credit Score?

Having a good credit score is paramount in the United States today. Your credit score is used for nearly everything in your adult life – not only loans but jobs and housing as well. People with good credit have no trouble getting automobile loans, credit cards, jobs that require a credit check, and housing because they have shown they have the ability to pay their bills on time. A high credit score shows the world that you manage your money responsibly.

Does a Bad Credit Score Hurt Me?

Bad credit ratings on the other hand will limit your opportunities and put you into higher fees and interest rates on loans – that is if you can get them at all.if any at all. Worse yet, prospective employers and housing landlords will look at your score to see if you have paid your bills in a timely manner. Bad credit really affects everything in today's society.

How Can I Turn This Around?

So… turning your bad credit situation into a good credit situation is hard but it can definitely be done. The first step is to pay off your lingering debt, either by bill consolidation or a credit counseling payment plan that you can stick to. Next, you should open up a savings account and put some money in it every time you get paid. A secured or prepaid credit card can (funded by your new savings account) can help you boost your score as well.

The Damage Is Done

Be aware that bad credit information will remain on your credit report for 7 to 10 years. Because of this, repairing your credit score will take some serious time and require real determination. It’s important to learn wise money management skills along the way and develop financial responsibility to maintain and increase your score.

Conclusion

Yes it takes time, but the opportunities afforded to people with good credit scores makes the effort worthwhile. With determination, no bad credit problem is to bad to fix - it just take desire and dedication. There are no quick fixes here unless there is faulty information that is showing up on your credit report.

Auto Loans with No Credit Check

2009-05-29T19:18:00.001-07:00

Auto Loans with No Credit Check
If you have bad credit or spotty credit, the lenders are probably turning you away. Since this is the case, the easiest way to purchase a car is with cash.

If your cash is in short supply however, then you’ll need to continue saving for a used car or consider purchasing your car with a no credit check auto loan.

No credit check auto loans are designed for those poor credit customers who want to purchase their automobile without the car dealer checking their credit histories -whether they're qualified or not, in other words. With no credit check auto loans, even those with the lowest credit ranking or zero credit history can still purchase a car.

Since there is no credit check to purchase the car, the dealer faces a much greater risk of default or payment delays. Because of the added risk, dealers will look for something to serve as your collateral before approving the deal.

You can also apply for a no credit check auto loan if you have a cosigner (guarantor) that the dealer knows is capable of paying for your loan. This person must have a strong credit history or a well established community presence in order to lessen the dealer’s risk.

Another thing dealers may do to help you qualify for a no credit check auto loan is to require a larger down payment and a higher interest rate. If you are seriously considering a no credit check arrangement with your dealer, you’d be wise to consider the total price of the vehicle as a result of the monthly payments that you will be making.

You need to weigh all the factors before deciding to acquire a car through no credit check auto loan. When dealing with your hard earned money and reputation, you really should consider every aspect of the deal with great care.

Bad Credit Customers May Consider Dealer Financing

2009-03-14T16:29:00.000-07:00

If your have bad credit, it's best for you to work out your car loan before choosing the car. While it's possible to get a new or used car loan with a bankruptcy on your record or a poor poor credit history, it does require some creativity and a lot of additional leg work.

One relatively new concept in bad credit auto lending has been around for years in other sectors. Have you considered dealer financing?

Some used car lots are now financing cars in-house by offering a buy here, pay here option. With this type of auto loan arrangement, you usually don’t even go through a credit check. Instead, you drop off your car payment at the dealership every week.

While the interest on these types of loans will be high, they are generally a good choice for borrowers with such bad credit that a credit check would entirely eliminate their chance of obtaining a loan. Before going with dealer financing however, you should apply at Auto Loan For Any Credit to determine if you qualify for traditional financing.

Bad Credit Auto Loans Quiz...

True or False. I have bad credit and am applying for a used car loan. My bad credit score is the sole determinant on whether or not I get an auto loan.

False. Lenders use a number of facts in addition to your FICO score when making credit decisions. While your score is part of the decision making process, lenders will also consider the amount of debt you can reasonably handle based on your income, your employment history, and your credit history. Based on their subjective perception of all this information, lenders may extend an auto loan to you even if you have a bad cedit score.

Conversely, they may also use this same subjective information to decline you even if your score is high.

Knoweth Thy FICO: Know Your FICO Score Before Applying for a Bad Credit Auto Loan

2009-02-20T20:20:00.000-08:00

If you're applying for an auto loan and you have bad credit, you'd be wise to check your credit report and FICO score before applying for financing. In fact, the more you know about your financial situation before applying for the subprime auto loan the better - knowledge is power!

Note that it's perfectly okay to request and check your own credit report. Contrary to popular belief, your own credit inquiry will not affect your score as long as you order the report directly from the credit reporting agency or a CRA authorized organization.

Want another reason to get your score in advance?

Sometimes, unscrupulous car dealers will lie and tell you that you have a score that is lower than what you really have. You'll be glad you know your score in advance when this occurs! That's why it's so important that you know your FICO Score before applying for a bad credit auto loan.

What's The Average FICO Score?

2009-02-20T15:46:00.000-08:00

Q. I was rejected for an auto loan because of my bad credit score (469). Do you know what percentage of Americans have this low of a score? What’s the average FICO score?

A. According to Fair Isaac, the distribution of scores is as follows:

400-499 2%
500-549 5%
550-599 8%
600-649 12%
650-699 15%
700-749 18%
750-799 27%
800+ 13%

Your score of 469 puts you deep into the subprime (bad credit auto loan) market. You'll need to find a cosignor or find in-house financing in order to get your car loan approved.

If you don't know your credit score, it looks like Consumer Direct is the best way to go. You can get 4 Scores Instantly (FREE) which includes Credit, Auto, Insurance,and Employment Scores + Fix & Lock!

Looking for a new or used car and you have bad credit?

Just follow the signs...

We Finance
You Work, You Ride
Good Credit, Bad Credit, No Credit
Your Job is Your Credit

Even though banks and credit unions are the most usual places to get a car loan, most financial institutions are not particularly fond of lending money to people with bad credit. This is where car dealers that finance in-house can really be of help.

A subprime in-house lender will charge an interest rate that is higher than the usual "prime" lending rate which is charged by conventional lenders. The subprime lender tries to help his customers who have bad credit get a good car and a good loan, too. Though he charges a higher than usual interest rate, his rate is not high enough to make the buyer feel as if he's being ripped off.

Follow the signs for in-house lending!
