Chrysler Capital Opens Strong as Auto Loans Remain Easily Available

UntitledIt’s only been a month since Chrysler switched their preferred lender from Ally Financial Inc to their own Chrysler Capital and it already looks to be a success. The opening month for the new auto lending service is off to one strong start.

Back in May, Chrysler parted ways with Ally to focus on the creation of their own lending group, Chrysler Capital. Since then, Chrysler Capital has worked on about 21 percent of the loans given out at the 2,500 Chrysler dealerships across the nation. That makes them the top loan writer at Chrysler dealerships.

“”I consider that pretty strong right out of the chute,” said Reid Bigland, Chrysler Group’s head of US sales. “There’s a pretty thick Rolodex of financial providers that is now available to dealerships.”

Bigland went on to say that he thinks lenders are so aggressively pushing into auto loans because the value of a car has held up much stronger than homes during the recent economic downturn. Credit availability is now the best it’s been in the history of automotive financing.

ID-100142021Bankruptcy is an ugly thing.  Just the word alone makes people shutter.  Even in this economy, as that word gets flung around left and right, people still have a lot of misunderstandings concerning it.  One of those places where people have confusion about it is when it comes to acquiring an auto loan even after having a bankruptcy occur.

Auto Credit Express shows how bankruptcy can affect an application for an auto loan. When the two common types of bankruptcy, a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13, are completed, it ends with either a discharge or dismissed.

Having the bankruptcy dismissed is what leads to problems.  This is common during a Chapter 13.  Dismissal means that the court-ordered payment schedule wasn’t met.  You missed a payment and this will lead to a lender or any kind of loan, auto-loan included, being denied.

On the other hand, a discharge on the bankruptcy means that it was completed successfully.  This is what allows a person to properly start reestablishing credit afterwards.

Now that you’ve entered the healing portion of the process, a good question is what to do afterwards.  The most obvious answer is to start mending your credit.  A great way of doing is by looking for different types of credit, such as an auto loan.  This is a form of installment credit that can go a long way in aiding you get back on the right track.

Help for Getting an Auto-Loan While on Disability

ID-10091618There are already enough hardships on people with bad credit looking to get an auto loan.  It’s even harder if you’re on benefits.

Why is that?  Well it’s because Social Security disability income cannot be garnished.

What does that mean exactly?  If you’re on disability income and should your vehicle get repossessed, then the lender is unable to garnish that income to pay off outstanding loan balances.  The lenders keep this very much in mind when someone on SSI disability wants to apply for an auto loan.

That isn’t the end for applicants on SSI disability, however.  High-risk lenders will still take you into consideration under the right conditions.

One example is if you’re able to prove income that can be garnished.  If you have another job and can prove income through a W-2 that helps a great deal.  The length of time you’ve been with the job can make a difference as well.

Something else to consider before applying helping your chances is to take a look at your residency.  If you’re able to prove long-term residence stability, it can help.  You also will want to look into showing your credit problems to be situational rather than habitual.  The difference is that situational will be a credit problem as a result of a single problem, such as a medical issue, while habitual is a history of being behind in payment to multiple lenders.

Getting an auto-loan when on disability is tricky.  It’s important, more-so than with most borrowers, to know how the system can be influenced in your favor.  Thankfully, it is possible with leg-work and proper knowledge.
