Yes, we can help customers with no credit history secure financing. We have programs specifically designed for first-time buyers.
If you have no drivers licence and are looking to make an application for vehicle finance you will need to find a joint or co-borrower to add onto your loan. Due to car loans being secured onto the vehicle for security it means every application needs at least one borrower to be legally able to drive.
If you have previously been bankrupt and since discharged then CarPow can 100% review your application. Bankruptcy is often seen by lenders as a clean slate as it should have cleared away any previous financial debts and commitments. We will check to confirm you have completed the required timeframe as it requires 3 years from start to finish.
Each customer is different and we also work alongside multiple lending providers but a car loan approval can be received as quickly as the same day you apply providing you complete all of the required tasks required for our lending affordability test. If a case requires further information or assessment, then the team at CarPow are on hand to get to work for you instantly.
Interest rates vary depending on several factors, such as credit score, loan term, and vehicle type. Our team will work with you to find the best interest rate available for your unique situation.
Each application is assessed based on both the customers credit score and also their ability to repay the loan. The higher the risk of the loan not being paid back then the higher the interest rate can go. Rates can range from 8.95% upto 28.95% for serious credit issues. If you already have a rate you want us to beat – let us know!
Think of it like this. If we were not confident we could get customers with very bad credit approved why would we say we could? It would waste not just your time but ours too!
