Vehicle Cash Advance After Bankruptcy: Qualifying & Salvaging Cash
If you are planning to apply for a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy, there are two key items you need to focus on:
1) Increasing your chances of qualifying for a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy
2) Reducing the interest rate on the vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy
Let's look at each item in more detail:
1) Increasing your chances of qualifying for a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy
One way to increase your chances of qualifying for a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy is to increase your credit score.
How do you increase your credit score? One way is to update your credit reports. This means removing any inaccurate or obsolete negative data from your credit reports. This will take an investment of time on your part - but if it means the difference between qualifying (or not) for a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy it can be worth the effort.
Another way to increase your credit score is to add positive items to your credit report - but few individuals know about this technique. There's not enough room to go into it here, so I'll save that for another article.
In After Bankruptcy Credit Solutions I go into detail on a number of ways you can increase your credit score. While there isn't enough room to cover all of them here, or any of them in detail, hopefully this gives you an idea of some of the steps you can take.
Another way to increase your chance of qualifying for a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy is to increase the amount of your down payment, or look at a lower price vehicle.
For example, let's assume you have £1,600 for a down payment on a vehicle and you're looking at a £16,000 vehicle - that's a 10% down payment. But what if the lender won't approve the cash advance because the down payment isn't large enough? See what they can do if you think about an £8,000 vehicle. Now your £1,600 represents a 20% down payment. In addition, everyting else being equal, the payment on your vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy would be lower if you finance it for the same period of time.
Next, let's discuss some ways you can reduce the interest rate on a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy...
2) Reduce the interest rate on the vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy
Here's where increasing your credit score pays off again! Why? if you are able to increase your credit score enough to reduce the interest rate you pay on a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy, you could save £100s or even £1,000s of pounds.
For example, let's use a £15,000 vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy as an example. Let's say you increase your credit score enough so that you receive an interest rate of 11% instead of 14%. Over the life of the cash advance you will end up salvaging about £1,067 in interest - that's cash that stays in your pocket!
There are other ways to lower the interest rate on a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy - increasing your credit score is just one of them. For example, there's another technique you can use to reduce the interest rate you pay on a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy - and it can save you up to £100s of pounds (or more). There's not enough room to cover it here, but it's a powerful technique if you don't have time to increase your credit score, and need to finance a vehicle immediately. I go into detail on it in After Bankruptcy Credit Solutions.
Now you know some specific techniques you can use to increase your chances of qualifying for a vehicle cash advance after bankruptcy, as well as potentially reducing the interest rate you pay in the process!
