  • Car finance - poor credit options?

    Hi all, I'm looking at possibly financing a car but don't really know my options. Basically I have a poor credit rating due to issues in the past (Experian put me in the second to bottom category), I don't know if this rules me out entirely or if I can use a guarantor? I earn a relatively decent wage now but clearly these things take a long time to clear up.

    When did you last check credit history?

        Did it show up any negative things? Any old bank accounts in your name etc??

        Why don't you get a credit card for around 2-3 months pay off in full then cut it up.


        Will help

                As Vegas said, identify what is giving you a bad score and try to rectify.

                  Undecided, all depends on how possible it is. I haven't decided on a car yet (didn't seem worth it if I wasn't sure on the finance options).

                  I think most/all are resolved but they hit my rating quite hard

                    Is it likely to be sub 2/3k or is it brand new car around 10k for example

                        2/3k I'd be tempted more with an overdraft.
