CCJ’s, mortgage arrears, bad credit or no credit history? No problem. Having a bad credit history, tax arrears or even a past bankruptcy does not mean you wont be able to get the car loan you need. Does this mean you should take on a loan regardless of your financial situation? This article will seek to evaluate in what circumstances you should think of taking a loan and when you shouldn’t. It will then carry on to describe what CCJ’s, mortgage arrears and bad credit mean for a borrower and how to get their car loan approved even with a bad credit record.

Just because you can… doesn’t mean you should

It is crazy but true, in today’s loan crazed society pretty much anyone can get a loan. You went through bankruptcy last year, haven’t paid your mortgage for a while, your council tax is in arrears, no problem, you can still find people willing to lend you money. The question is if you should be looking for a loan when in such a financial situation. There is no easy answer to that question and each situation should be analyzed independently, but the most likely answer is, NO!

If you are having trouble paying for your mortgage or your taxes it is not the best idea to get further into debt. However maybe your current situation does allow you to take on a loan and your tax and mortgage arrears simply describe a past situation you are slowly solving.

The important thing to do before you even start to think about a loan is to analyze your personal finances. Write out a spreadsheet with your expenses and your income. Work out if you can afford a loan or what expenses your could reduce in order to afford it.

If you have just gone through a bankruptcy it is a good idea to wait a couple of years before applying for a loan as the interest rates you are going to be offered are going to be pretty pricey. This way you will also allow your credit score to recuperate if you take on some secured credit card and “safe” (secured) loans.

How to apply?

As we mentioned above, getting accepted for a loan even in the worst circumstances is not a problem, even if you are self employed. However there still will be some requirements for you to meet.

1) Proof of income. It is vital to prove your lender you can afford the loan. If you are employed in a company your pay slip will be enough. If you are self employed it is a little harder. You will need to supply accounts and tax paperwork for the last two to three years.

2) Provide security. Banks and finance companies that lend to low credit score borrowers will protect their loans with high interests and appropriate collateral security. The collateral might come in the form of the deeds for a house, another car or savings.
