Auto Refinance Help

I have an auto refinance question.At the time of purchase I had a low credit score two collections and one repo.My credit scores now are Ex(693) EQ(688) with no negative accounts.My credit card utilization is at 50%.Should I wait until I get a 720 score and lower utilization or apply now? Also should I apply at a bank or credit union?My car is financed through Cap one,should I also attempt to refinance with them as well? Here is the account information:

Re: Auto Refinance Help

Capital One and a lot of banks won't refinance their own loans.

 

How much debt do you have? Do you think you can easily bump 50% to 30% or even 0%? If so, I would do that first.

 

If not, it won't hurt to apply at DCU (Digital Federal Credit Union).

It depends on how soon you can bring down your utilization to about 10%. If its within 1-2 months, I would wait to refinance. If its beyond, I would go ahead and refinance now, and again when your scores reach 720+.

Re: Auto Refinance Help

I can get it to 30% in two months. Does anyone have recommendations to where I should go?
