What Is Bad Credit Car Finance?

Bad credit car finance is designed for people who may have struggled with credit in the past or who have little to no credit history at all. While some mainstream lenders focus heavily on credit scores, specialist brokers like carloans 365 look at the bigger picture. This includes your income, affordability and current circumstances, not just what is on your credit file.

Many people worry that bad credit automatically means very high interest rates or an instant refusal. That is not always the case. With expert support and access to specialist lenders, it is often possible to find a finance option that fits your budget and lifestyle.

What You Should Know About Bad Credit Car Finance

Bad credit car finance is specifically designed for people with poor or limited credit histories. Because lenders take on more risk, interest rates can sometimes be higher than for those with excellent credit. However, using a specialist broker like carloans 365 often means access to more competitive deals than applying directly through mainstream lenders or dealerships.

Bad credit car finance is not only for people with negative credit. It can also help those with no credit history at all. The key is working with a trustworthy broker who matches you with lenders that suit your situation rather than taking advantage of it.

Interest Rates and Costs

It is true that bad credit can result in higher interest rates, as lenders need to manage risk. That said, specialist lenders are often more flexible. Our role is to help you find the best available option and avoid unnecessary costs.

Improving Your Chances of Approval

There are several ways to strengthen your application. A deposit, stable income or a co applicant can improve approval odds and may reduce monthly payments. If you are unsure how to improve your chances, our team can offer practical advice tailored to your circumstances.

Bad Credit Is Not Permanent

Making regular, on time payments on your car finance can help rebuild your credit score over time. This can improve your financial position and make future borrowing easier. Your car finance agreement can be a positive step towards better credit.

All of the lenders we work with offer finance options that require no deposit. Deposits may sometimes be requested. If they are, your account manager will let you and explain the reasons why. Should a deposit not be an option we can always look at other car options.

Making an initial enquiry will not leave a hard check on you credit profile. The lender(s) we submit your application to will conduct a ‘soft search’ in order to pre-approve your application. These searches will show on your credit profile but are only visible to you. A ‘hard search’ will only be carried out should you wish to proceed with any quotation provided to show the live credit agreement you have taken out.

Our open and honest approach means that your account manager will offer you the best pre-approval rate we manage to obtain for you from the outset. We will not offer your application to the highest bidder and always have your best interests at heart throughout our process.

You can purchase a car from any dealer we class as ‘reputable’. We will conduct any necessary checks on the dealer to make sure they are up to our standards giving you confidence in the vehicle you’re purchasing.

We are currently able to offer Hire Purchase agreements, most known as HP. Hire Purchase is a loan attached to the vehicle, designed so that you own 100% of your vehicle at the end of your contracted payments (usually subject to a small option to purchase fee). The balance of the loan is paid over the pre-agreed contract length, the most common term for such loans is between 48 & 60 months. We also have other products available such as conditional sale, lease purchase and personal contract purchase. Your dedicated Account Manager will go through all options available to you. (Subject to status)

We work with a panel of lenders who could offer finance for all credit ratings no matter if your credit is bad! Some of which specialise in securing finance for bad credit. These loans can also work as a great way to boost your credit worthiness for when you next apply for finance. Click ‘Get a quote’ and let us work to secure the best finance offer for you.

Of course, once we have found the vehicle you wish to proceed with, we will negotiate a figure for you part-exchange with the dealer you are purchasing your new car from. You can then simply drop your old car off and drive away in your new one.

If your application is straight forward and you have already seen a car you wish to purchase, then you could collect your vehicle the same day (depending on the lender). If you are in a hurry to get in your new car, please let your account manager know and we will do our best to ‘FastTrack’ your application.
