Article Directory :: Finance & Investment Articles Poor credit car loan - finding and applying for a loan By Gordon Parkes Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 14Jan2009 Word count: 401 Viewed: 249 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site The credit crunch means that it can be harder then ever to find a loan if you have a poor credit rating. However, if you know where to look there are still many lenders who will be willing to pay out. In fact, if you are seeking car finance, the most difficult part of finding the right loan can be comparing all the various loans that are on offer. By contacting one loan company, you will be able to compare the loans available from a single lender, which will give a very narrow view of the market. On the other hand, comparing numerous companies could become highly complex, as you will have to keep track of: - Interest rates. - Repayment terms. - Arrangement fees. - Terms and conditions. A much easier way to search the market is to employ a broker to do it for you. They will be able to search hundreds of lenders, even finding loans that you may not have considered. A broker will also be able to advise you through the application process, answering any questions you might have while you are filling in the necessary forms. When you are applying for a car loan, there are several steps to complete. First, decide on the loan amount. This will affect the repayments and interest rates, to make sure you can afford the loan. A secured loan will generally have a much lower interest rate than the unsecured equivalent, as the risk to the lender is greatly reduced. You will then have to complete the necessary forms. Before you do this, ensure you have all paperwork close at hand. You may need: - Recent utility bills. - Proof of identification, including your address and photograph. - Bank statements, usually from the last three months. - Payslips or accounts references. If you have all the paperwork you need before beginning a loan application form, you will find the process moves much faster and more efficiently. Even if you have been turned down for a loan by your bank, a broker will be able to find the right loan for you. By working with a broker, you could benefit from: - No upfront fees. - Low commission charges. - Interest-only and fixed-rate loans. You may be looking to buy an estate to carry your expanding family, or a racy sports car. Either way, there can be many car loans available - even if you have a poor credit rating.
