If your current loan repayments are all up to date then you may be in a stronger position than you think. Especially if you have paid off any past defaults that have affected your credit score. 

There is no need to wait if you are looking for some new wheels, get in touch with Gusto Finance today and we can walk you through the process to secure the car of your dreams today! 

What is Considered a Low Credit Score?

A low credit score is a benchmark that will vary from lender to lender, and policies are constantly changing. This is why it is important to speak to an expert so you know where you stand.

An adverse credit event will affect your credit score, but you may still be eligible for a fast car loan approval if placed with the right lender. 

What if I Have Been Bankrupt?

But what if your past credit problems were severe enough for bankruptcy? 

Some marks on your credit file are more serious than others, and you may think that a major insolvency event will have you blacklisted for life! Well, that is not the case! 

If you are a discharged bankrupt, or have been on a part IX debt agreement we may still be able to help you obtain a new loan. This will depend on your circumstances and our experts can help match you with a lender who may be able to help. 

If it is too soon, the pathway to be eligible for credit again may be shorter than you think. Our brokers can help you understand exactly where you stand today and how to get where you want to be.

Yes, bad credit car loans are our specialty! We have a number of lenders on our panel who will lend based on current behaviours rather than focusing only on past mistakes. 

If you are not yet ready then we can help wth some general guidance for how to improve your credit. 

The short answer is yes, but it will depend on the number, size, and type of defaults. Our expert brokers can provide you with a consultation to find what options are available to you. 

Book your obligation free consultation here.

As part of your initial consultation we will do a “soft credit check”. This does not affect your credit score and will not show as an inquiry on your credit file.

Once we submit your application to a lender they will always complete a full credit check as part of your loan assessment. This will show up as an inquiry.

Yes, some of our lenders will consider Centrelink income when assessing your capacity to make repayments on your car loan. 

However, not all Centrelink income categories are eligible and our brokers can guide you through this.

You can borrow the full value of the car if this is your preference as long as you have the capacity to make the repayments and satisfy other lending criteria. 

However, if you have a deposit this can help either reduce the size of the loan and the costs you will pay over time. Or, you may be able to get a better quality car.

You may be able to drive away in as little as 48 hours if your application is transparent and complete. 

We always pursue a speedy outcome with GUSTO!

Our brokers will provide expert guidance to find the most suitable car loan for your circumstances. 

A credit guide and consent form will be provided to you prior to any loan application submission on your behalf. We will then fight with GUSTO to find a great deal!
