The Car Loan Centre FAQs

Do You Search My Credit Report?

We work differently here at The Car Loan Centre, in that your credit score* is not a factor in deciding to lend to you. When we look at your financial history, this is a smaller element to build the lending process, with us focusing on your affordability first and foremost. This is how we can provide finance for bad credit. To help aid our decision in deciding your affordability, you should be able to provide the following information:

  • Proof of ID
  • Proof of Address
  • Your last 3 month’s bank statements

Once we have received this information, we will be able to make a clearer and more accurate lending decision.

Can You Still Lend to Me if I Have a Default or CCJ?

Yes, the good news is we can offer CCJ Loans finance options even if you have various forms of bad credit including CCJs or Defaults. In fact, as long as you are not currently bankrupt or filing for bankruptcy, we could help you. As bad credit car finance specialists, we are happy to offer financial help to those that have been turned away elsewhere. Please contact us to find out more by requesting a callbackrequesting a callback or applying today.

How Old Do I Need to Be to Apply?

The minimum age we can accept a finance application from is 18 years old. Our lending is based on your affordability and we can help even if you have No credit history. You can apply whether you are in full time education, employment or receiving benefits.

Can I Get Guaranteed Finance with You?

No car loan lender can provide guaranteed finance. We consider many different circumstances to help broaden the range of people and situations we can help. However, no loan is guaranteed for approval as it is subject to initial checks of your credit history and affordability. If you have any queries, please contact us directly.
