Re: Question on car loan?

When you say your scores are low because your new, do you mean you just got a credit score or your new to trying to clean up your reports because in my experience people just getting a credit score are usually really high until you apply for a million cards and carry a large balance on a low cl.

 

What is your question about a credit union.

 

Down payment of 20% usually helps you get approved but you might need even more if your score don't come up and you have never had a car loan before.

 

What open credit do you currently have?

Re: Question on car loan?

Thanks credit addict for replying ....but yes I'm new to credit this is what I have

Cap1 secured cc. $500 limit
Fingerhut store.cc. $150 limit

But I have a charge off that I'm paying from utility company..I finish paying it off in September. Thats everything on my report. Now I was doing some googling and now I know the difference between credit union and bank! Lol but I found out what's my local union and I should be getting some info in the mail this week at least I'm going to open a savings account with them so I can get a relationship going.

I would start sending GW letters to get the util deleted from your credit because if your util is under 9% and you didn't have any negatives you would probably be in the 700's
