Tuesday December 2, 2008

It is frustrating and disappointing when you are declined a car loan as it can drastically alter your plans of purchasing a car. But this is no reason to give up on your dream car.

Banks have strict lending criteria to prevent people defaulting. Banks may give obscure responses when you press for an explanation on why your car loan application was declined.

There are main criteria that are used to assess your car loan.

These include:

  • Your current income and ability to repay the personal loan. If the loan repayments can't be supported by your income, you will be declined.
  • Your credit worthiness. Banks look at any other debts you currently are repaying and check if you have any defaults.

If you feel that you may have been declined due to one of these reasons, there are steps you can take to improve your chances of being approved.
