Although the circumstances are slightly different between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, options are available if you do your homework in advance.

  • So that you know exactly where you stand, secure a copy of your credit report and score from AnnualCreditReport.com. When you have that “magic number,” you can research a range of applicable interest rates for which you qualify so that you can be prepared before visiting a dealership.
  • Consider your down payment, as it will be a requirement for obtaining financing. The greater amount of your down payment, the smaller your monthly payment will be. More is always better. In addition, a higher down payment is viewed as a better risk for the dealer than someone who has a smaller one.
  • Gather the necessary paperwork (credit report, proofs of income and residence, insurance, etc.) and complete the online credit application for the dealer. This will likely save you quite a bit of time when you reach the car lot.
