Auto Loans Increasing as Delinquency Decreases

People are starting to get back to work as the economy continues the long road of recovery since the disaster of 2008. The auto industry has seen a similar bounce back of late with the increase of sales since their bankruptcy and bailout. To that end, it’s be easier and easier for those in the sub prime market to get loans. There’s a reason for that as Experian has noted a new trend among people with auto loans.

Experian is saying that consumers have paid their auto loan payment on time in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of last year. This has also brought down the rate in the average delinquency rate in all lending organizations. To give proper numbers, Experian is showing that the 30-day delinquency rate was 2.52 percent in the second quarter of 2012 and that number was 2.59 percent last year. For people with a delinquency of 60-days , the number was .60 percent last year and is .59 this year.

Melinda Zabritski, director of automotive lending for Experian goes into more detail, “Consumers continue to do an excellent job of paying back their vehicle loans in a timely fashion, and that’s good news for everyone in the industry. Both 30 and 60 day delinquencies are at historic lows, and the percentage of money at risk has dropped as well. This gives lenders needed stability, which filters through the auto industry to consumers in the form of easier to obtain loans.”
