Bad-credit car loans in Australia work just like any other secured personal loan.
You apply for a loan and, if you meet the lender’s eligibility criteria, the lender will approve it. The loan money will then be directly sent to the car dealer or seller. You must then repay the lender by paying off the original sum plus interest, in regular installments. The loan is secured against the car, so if you fail to repay the lender, they can repossess the vehicle.
The amount you borrow will be determined by the cost of your car. You can generally choose the length of time it takes to repay your loan, which can range from one to seven years.
If you have an imperfect credit record, these loans are viewed as carrying a larger risk for the lender, so they will usually charge a slightly higher interest rate.
Getting a car loan can be a challenge, especially if you have a black mark on your credit record. We can help you navigate the minefield of different lender requirements and negotiate with lenders for you. If you can show that you have improved your situation or have a reasonable explanation for any past defaults, we can usually get you a loan.
Our lending specialists will get you the best possible interest rate so you save money.
Our simple process takes the hassle out of getting a car loan.
We are passionate about helping every Australian get behind the wheel of the car they need!
We know exactly what our lenders need so we can get through to approval quickly.
Just like any other car loan applicant, you will need to answer the following questions to the satisfaction of the lender when you apply for bad credit car finance:
Loan application paperwork is required to protect you from unethical lending practices (lending you more than you can repay) and to avoid fraud. This is a legal obligation for the lender.
There are three types of documents you’ll need to provide:
A valid driver’s licence
Proof of residence, including location and status.
Bank statements
Liabilities and assets
Evidence of income
Defaults on your credit file can prevent you from getting financing from many of the larger institutions, and they can be tough to overcome because they linger on your credit file for five years. However, we deal with lenders who are willing and able to work with you. Our consultants are experts in the product market and can find you the best value loan for your needs.
To a lender, having no credit history is roughly equivalent to having a bad credit history. It means that lenders have no way of knowing how trustworthy you are as a borrower. However, our car finance brokers can find you a loan even if you have never borrowed before, provided you can show us that your income is enough to handle your repayments.
Borrowers whose Centrelink assistance accounts for a large percentage of their income have a harder time being accepted for vehicle loans. Our lenders are happy to deal with customers who have alternative sources of income, such as Centrelink, particularly those who receive half or more of their income from benefit payments.
While traditional vehicle loan application criteria often requires you to provide employment contracts and payslips, our car loan brokers can help self-employed people looking for car finance who may not have up-to-date records explore their low-doc lending choices.
If you have a bad credit rating, traditional lenders may either deny your loan request or offer you a loan with a very high interest rate. One of our lenders that specialises in bad credit car finance, on the other hand, may be able to provide you with a cheaper loan and speedier approval times.
Fees for bad credit car loans are often higher. On bad credit car loans in Australia, some lenders impose a monthly account fee or administration fee. Many lenders will also charge an establishment fee to arrange your loan, which can be substantial. Finally, if you repay your loan before the agreed-upon loan term date, many lenders will charge you a fee. Fees can really add up and increase the price of your loan, so it’s important to consider these carefully before you take out a loan.
The amount of money you can borrow for a car loan is determined by your income, monthly expenses, and credit history. If you have a poor credit score, you won’t be able to finance all cars. In the applications they review, a lender will want to see a reasonable loan amount: the smaller the amount, the lower the risk.
A deposit is not required for a car loan, but it may be beneficial. Having a deposit may gain you access to more competitive interest rates, depending on the lender.
