Bad Credit Car Loan Sources

Bad credit can cost you a lot of money in extra interest charges. If you have had problems getting a good rate on a car loan because of poor credit, these lenders can help:

Household Auto
If your credit score is above 550, then Household Auto will approve you. Plus, you’re dealing directly with the lender, not a middleman like a car dealer. You can finance (or refinance) up to a 72-month term.

800AutoYes
Great online lender with excellent customer service. Very good rates for those whose credit was spotty in the past, but are on the upswing now.

Auto Loan Web
Works great if you were rejected elsewhere. Establish new credit here if you’ve had no bad credit in last six months. They can get you a loan even if you have a discharged bankruptcy, tax problems, public record lawsuits, or other situations. Auto Loan Web is great also if you have no credit history and can’t get a loan.


Important Note: If you have poor credit, NEVER finance at the dealership. They’ll just add an extra 3% surcharge to your car loan.

They’ll also try to pull a few scams on you. Beware of the phrase “subject to loan approval” appearing anywhere on your car purchase paperwork.

That’s just an excuse for them to call you in a week, tell you that your loan fell through, and demand a higher loan rate. If you don’t comply, they’ll repossess the car.

So, be extraordinarily wary when financing at the dealership. Always read and understand all your paperwork.

Remember, signing your name acknowledges that you do, in fact, understand all of the loan documents!
