Purchasing a car can be a time of extreme joy for many – but it can also be a source of anxiety if you’re relying on full or part finance to get the keys!
Online access to your credit history is available to anyone you apply for a loan or credit with - information about your savings, spending, borrowing and repayment habits is accessible in just a couple of clicks.
So how do you ensure that your credit history makes you look like the perfect candidate for that loan? Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Banks and other lenders will access your Credit File and Credit Score to assess your ability to meet repayments
- Banks and other lenders will also look at your bank accounts to see how you spend your income
- Each time you apply for any type of loan – whether approved or not, an ‘Enquiry’ is formally logged to your Credit File
- Afterpay, Payday or short-term loans do not improve your Credit Rating. In fact, banks and other lenders don’t like seeing these loans – or declined applications for these loans on your Credit File at all.
- Build a consistent savings history – even if you can bank only a small amount, do it regularly
- Make all of your repayments and payments on time
The good news is, even if you have a poor or no credit history, Finance One may be able to help. Follow our monthly blog for tips on how to secure that loan!
