Credit Issues
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Is a liquidation debt that generally takes three to four months from the filing date to discharge. We can arrange auto financing in an open or discharged bankruptcy. When your bankruptcy is open, we can arrange financing prior to your 341 meeting (also known as the meeting of creditors).Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Is a re-organization of debts typically between one, three, and five year terms. Our lending source will only require that an individual receive written permission from the trustee and/or the bankruptcy court and that your plan has been confirmed.

Repossessions
If an individual has experienced a repossession, voluntary or in-voluntary, the lender will require that the repossession have occurred at least two years prior to the application for auto financing.Excessive or Unresolved Derogatory Credit
This situation is one that most lenders will shy away from because of the high risk of bankruptcy. There are three forms of resolution: resolving the credit issues through repayment of debt. Resolving the debt through bankruptcy or not acting on the situation at all resulting in a continuation of excessive unresolved derogatory debt.

A lender willing to finance this type of customer will require a large cash down payment and a shorter loan term resulting in a higher monthly payment.
