How Our Bad Credit Car Loans in Essex Work

If you are looking for used car finance in Essex, a poor credit score* can be a massive obstacle to getting approved. Bad credit car finance in Essex can be very difficult to come by. Many companies work on the basis of automated credit checks and if your score is below the high number they’re looking for, you’ll automatically be rejected. Here at The Car Loan Centre, we work a little differently, meaning that we are able to offer our poor credit car finance in Essex to more people.

Our bad credit car loans in Essex are specifically designed to work around your current financial situation, not your past. We understand that your credit score* does not always truly reflect your current financial situation – it could be due to a previous default due to your debit card expiring, or it could be because of past debts that you have worked hard to clear. Whatever the reason, It can take a long time for your credit score* to bounce back up, and we don’t want to stop you from getting car finance or logbook loans in Essex, when you can afford the repayments. At The Car Loan Centre, we look at your income and outgoings in order to assess whether you will be able to afford the repayments on the amount of car finance you are applying for, then we process a credit check to verify the details provided such as ensuring you are not currently bankrupt. This fair approach means that you can still get the car you want from The Car Loan Centre in Essex, even if other companies have turned you down.

Criteria for Our Car Finance in Essex

The eligibility criteria for our used car finance in Essex is straightforward. We require you to:

  • Be 18 years of age or above
  • Have a full UK or EU driving licence
  • Be a resident of the UK
  • Have a source of income
  • Not be bankrupt

The same basic eligibility criteria also applies for our logbook loans in Essex.

Once you have been approved in principle for one of our bad credit car loans in Essex, we will need to see your driving licence as proof of identity as well as the last few months’ worth of bank statements and run a credit check. This is so we can assess whether you can afford the repayments, looking at your income and regular outgoings, then the credit check is completed to support your application. We don’t require you to have a specific type of job in order to qualify for our poor credit car finance in Essex, so you could be approved if you are in full or part-time employment, self-employed, receiving benefits or a pension.
