Can CC credit limit effect auto loan?

The reason I asked is because I remember years ago when I tried to buy a truck, the finance manger told me that I was denied because I don't have enough credit limit.....because my CC only had a 500 limit.....

 

In hindsight from what I've learned over the years, I think I was denied because I never had an auto loan before.

Myfico scores.....
EX... 805 (11-10-13)
EQ... 810 (12-02-13)
TU... 810 (12-02-13)

Absolutely.  If a card issuer is only willing to extend a $500 limit that doesn't look favorable.  If you have high utilization because your limits are low that isn't favorable either.

Imho if it gets equated to your fico score it would affect any loan or credit you're trying to obtain Smiley Wink

Auto lenders typically go with straight (auto-enhanced) FICO scores. These will look at your utilization but not your actual limits.

 

Auto loans are the easiest credit to get. I got one at a semi-reasonable rate with a 625.

 I dont believe your CC limit has anything to do with the auto loan.I bought a car last year and I only had Capital One with 500 limit on it at the time.He never asked me about my CC nor did he care.
