Car loan with a bad credit! Sounds strange but true
By: Judith Earl | Posted: 26th May 2006
Though it sounds strange that a car loan is available despite a bad credit record yet it is true like anyother general truths. A bad credit car loan is specially designed for borrowers whose credit record is less than perfect. It can be availed irrespective of the condition of your credit record.
You can avail a bad credit car loan even if you have CCJ's, arrears, bankruptcy, defaults, missed payments etc. against you. These factors are no more a strong barrier in getting approval for a bad credit car loan as they used to be. There are genuine reasons behind it. First the great number of people with poor credit record in UK. Secondly the competitive nature of the loan market.
Both these factors made the lenders change their attitude towards a poor credit score. The result is the easy availability of bad credit car loans. A bad credit car loan becomes further easy to avail if you offer collateral for it. The collateral assures the lender that he will get the loan back if you fail. So he not only gives approval to the loan but also offers it with flexible terms.
Bad credit car loan can also be availed without offering collateral. But you will be charged a comparatively high interest for it. Till then it remains better option than to buy a car through car financers or dealers. They charge extraordinarily high interest and take the missed payments very seriously. The hidden charges and rigid terms are difficult to be fulfilled.
