Bad Credit Car Loans Near Fort Worth, TX

Gone are the days when having bad credit or filing bankruptcy carried a stigma that made getting approved for a bad credit car loan extremely difficult. Compared to even five years ago, it is much easier today to secure a bad credit auto loan — even with a discharged bankruptcy. Once approved and making on-time payments for twelve consecutive months, you can begin rebuilding your credit.

Everyone needs financial help at some point. Whether it's financing to buy a home or an automobile, life happens. If you have bad credit or a discharged bankruptcy, you need lenders who specialize in your situation — not the major banks and credit unions that typically turn these applications away. A dedicated network of sub-prime lenders exists precisely for customers like you, and your application is far more likely to be accepted when you work with the right team.

Classic Arlington has helped many Fort Worth area customers secure a bad credit car loan. Sub-prime financing — the industry term for bad credit auto loans — applies to people with a low credit score, high-risk credit history, or first-time buyers with no established car credit. These loans may be initially funded by a dealership like Classic Arlington or by one of several institutions specializing in sub-prime auto finance for customers whose credit score is typically below 620, or customers with no installment credit history (often called a "Ghost").

Auto financing in this situation is typically not determined solely by your credit score, but by your ability to demonstrate several key factors — known in the industry as "STIPS" — including:

• Fixed income of at least $1,800 per month
• Texas residency and U.S. citizenship or legal residency
• Valid driver's license
• Current proof of full coverage insurance
• Proof of residence (utility bill for electric, natural gas, or water service in your or your spouse's name, delivered to your address)

Your proof of residence must be a service bill in your name that comes to your home address — not a bill that could be reassigned without a change of address. A valid, reachable phone number is also required. Finally, most lenders require six (6) references — each with a full name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and their relationship to you (family member, friend, co-worker, or neighbor). If you can provide all of this documentation and it checks out, you are eligible to apply for bad credit auto financing at Classic Arlington.
