How to Get a Line of Credit

May 6, 2014 by Car Capital

When it comes time to borrow money, there are many options and avenues available to those with good credit.

The typical route that high credit borrowers take is to go straight to the bank for a traditional fixed or variable-rate loan, while one of the lesser-used options is to take out a line of credit.

Businesses have been using lines of credit for years in order to satisfy their capital needs, but individuals rarely tap into lines of credit, often because they don’t realize it’s a possibility.

This post goes through the basics, explaining what a line of credit is, as well as how to take one out.

What is a Line of Credit?

A line of credit is basically a flexible loan from a bank to an individual or (more commonly) to a business.

A line of credit establishes some amount of money that the borrower can access as needed, which they will then repay immediately or over a specified period of time. Similar to loans, borrowing money with a line of credit leads to interest charges that start accumulating as soon as the money is borrowed.

A line of credit can be more advantageous than a traditional loan because you only have to pay interest on the money that you actually use, whereas with a traditional loan, you’re charged the full amount of interest on the entire loan from day one.

Taking out a line of credit also helps to improve your credit score, which will be used to determine how much you can get approved to borrow in the first place. The more you borrow and pay back on time, the higher your credit score will rise and the larger a line of credit you’ll be able to get approve dfor.

How to Get a Line of Credit

Obtaining a personal line of credit typically requires a good credit score and good credit history, especially because lenders burned by the financial crisis are less willing to extend this type of borrowing than they were in years past.

To maximize your chances of approval, it’s best to apply for a personal line of credit when your finances are healthy, rather than after you’re already in trouble.

A quick survey of banks and credit unions finds that personal lines of credit are available in a variety of amounts and interest rates. As one example, Wells Fargo offers personal lines of credit in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $100,000.

According to statistics, most personal lines of credit are typically provided for amounts below $10,000. And when someone wants to take out a line of $50,000 or more, a much more rigorous review process kicks in to ensure that the borrower is fully qualified. At that point, paperwork such as tax returns and documentation of personal assets becomes absolutely necessary to receive an approval.

A Wells Fargo survey of clients who took out personal lines of credit found that funds were typically used to consolidate debt, pay education or medical costs, or pay for used cars or home improvements, so the resources appear to get used in about the same way as traditional loans.

However, some consumers use lines of credit for smaller costs as well, like vehicle repairs, furniture, educational expenses and insurance costs.

Car Capital Financial

If you don’t get approved for a new line of credit, or if you can’t borrow enough money this way, then you may need to consider a vehicle title loan instead.

Title loans are a safe form of secured loan that uses the equity value of your car, boat, or other vehicle as collateral for a personal loan.

A title loan works by awarding you with cash based on the value of your vehicle. In exchange, the title loan company takes temporary ownership of your car’s title (pink slip).

Typically, you begin to make loan repayments about 30 days from the time you take out your loan, and once you’ve fully paid it off, your title will be returned.

Some title loans are better than others, as not all companies allow you to continue driving your car during the course of the loan.

If you need money now, and you’ve got a vehicle that is either totally paid off, or nearly paid off, then you’ve virtually guaranteed to qualify for a safe, reliable and affordable car title loan from Car Capital Financial. Title loans are issued based on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

If you’re a Southern California resident, we can get you the money you need in as little as 30 minutes from receiving your first call.

Types of Equity Loans

December 4, 2013 by Car Capital

Are you considering taking out an equity loan? If you own a considerable amount of equity, such as a car, a house or other substantial possessions and need to raise money fast, an equity loan may be one of your easiest and most reliable options.

What is an Equity Loan?

An equity loan is any type of loan in which equity is used as the collateral. For example, if you take out a mortgage on a house, then this house is the collateral, and could be used as equity if you chose to take out a home equity loan.

In fact, there are two main types of equity loans, home equity loans and title loans.

To find out which loan is best for you and your unique financial needs, read on:

Home Equity Loans

A home equity loan is a loan in which you take out a loan against your home. Depending on how much your house is worth and how much you have paid off your mortgage, typically determines how big or small a loan you can take out.

Home equity loans are often also referred to as “second mortgages” or “lines of credit” and are usually used by homeowners that are in desperate, immediate need of cash.

Unfortunately, there are some downsides to taking out this kind of loan. You risk losing your home if you miss making regular payments. And this doesn’t just mean you’ll lose the roof over your head, but your credit score will also be seriously damaged.

While home equity loans can seem like a fast way to generate cash, it is important to consider the potential negative side effects before you take one out.

Title Loans

Generally speaking, auto equity loans or title loans are a much safer form of loan compared to home equity loans. This is because this type of equity loan uses the value of your car as collateral, which more than likely is of much less value than your home.

A title loan works by you being awarded with cash, based on the value of your vehicle. In exchange, the title loan company takes temporary ownership of your car’s title (pink slip). You will then have to repay your loan in full (you are usually given several years to do so) in order for the pink slip to be returned into your name. You will also be able to drive your car as you make your repayments.

Ultimately, title loans provide you with a fast and safe way to raise money fast, without you having to risk losing your home or give up driving your car in the process.

Choose Car Capital Financial

If you’re a Southern California resident looking for an auto equity loan, choose Car Capital Financial. We are one of Southern California’s most trusted title loan companies and have been awarding loans of great value for over 20 years. Title loans are issued based on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan.

How to Improve Your Credit Score Without Credit Cards

October 1, 2013 by Car Capital

There has always been the notion that credit scores have everything to do with credit card usage. However, your credit score isn’t as closely tied to those pieces of plastic as you might think.

In reality only a small portion of your credit score is based on having and using credit cards. Even people who do not want to use credit cards can build a respectable credit score.

There are several ways to build or improve a credit history without using credit cards. Among them are:

Secured Loans from Credit Unions

Borrowing from a credit union is made possible by:

This type of borrowing is backed by money you place in a credit union savings account. The interest rates for credit union loans are typically only a few percentage points above the rate you earn for keeping money in credit union savings accounts.

Credit union loans are typically easier to get than traditional bank loans, since credit unions are more likely to be looking for ways to say yes. Credit unions are often willing to look at more than just your credit score, and will consider questions like whether or not you are responsible with existing bank accounts and whether or not you appear to be actively saving money.

Partaking in fiscally responsible behaviors will help you earn the trust of your credit union, making it easier to take out a loan from them and improve your credit score as you pay that loan back.

Traditional Banks

Bank accounts do not factor into your credit score but the relationship you build with your bank may lead to financing opportunities. If you have existing accounts in good standing at a bank, you will be far more likely to be able to take out a loan when compared to someone who has the same credit score, but has never had any dealings with the same bank.

Pay On Time

Pay your bills on time. Payments that arrive late are marked “past due” 100% of the time, even if they are only late by an hour, so make sure that you pay each and every one of them on time. Your credit report won’t explain your exact financial situation to potential reviewers, banks or other entities that you’re trying to get financing from – all that it really tells them is whether or not you can be expected to make payments on time.

If you do run into financial difficulties, then you’d better be prepared to consult with your creditors and work out a payment plan before missing any payments, otherwise your credit score is likely to drop.

Become An Authorized User

When you’re added to someone’s credit card as an authorized user, his or her history with that card is typically imported to your credit report. If the person is in good standing with his or her creditors, that could enhance your own score.

However, if the other person runs into financial trouble, misses payments or defaults on loans, then it could spell big time trouble for you. Fortunately, it’s easier to pull yourself back from the brink when the problematic part is someone else’s responsibility, as you can remove the negative pieces from your own credit history simply by being removed from the account as an authorized user.

The other person doesn’t need to give you access to the card to add you as an authorized user, but you should make sure the credit card will export the information to your credit reports. Some issuers will only import authorized-user information for spouses and immediate family members.

Address The Issues Affecting Your Score

For some people, a low credit score might be caused by late payments, accounts in collection or high debt to income ratios, while for others, the culprit could be a reporting mistake.

Building your credit score will require addressing the specific issues causing concern for potential lenders. If you are unsure about which factors are causing your credit score to dip, then contact the reporting agency to speak with a customer service representative.

Studies suggest that up to 25% of credit reports can contain serious errors, such as outdated personal information, mistaken or fraudulent accounts, and incorrect account details. Fixing these errors can give your score an immediate bump.

How to Get Home Loans with Poor Credit

If you have poor credit, your chances of getting a home loan approved typically become seriously reduced. Home lenders like to lend to home buyers they can trust, and they usually judge their trustworthiness through their credit score.

Therefore, if you have a bad credit score, getting home loans with a poor credit score can be extremely difficult. However, there are some ways of getting around this and still being able to get a good mortgage rate, and these include:

Demonstrate Other Financial Assets

Even with a bad credit score, you may own valuable assets that can serve as considerable equity. Perhaps you own a car, other property, a considerable amount of money invested in your 401k or a hefty life insurance. If you can demonstrate any of these (such as through written documentation) to home lenders they may be more willing to offer you a mortgage at a decent rate. This is because despite your poor credit score you can still demonstrate that you have sufficient funds available should a financial crisis arise.

Show Stable Employment

If you have stable employment and earn a decent to high salary, this is another asset worth demonstrating to home lender companies to offset your poor credit score. The fact that you can show you have a steady income will suggest to mortgage lenders that you will have a sufficient cash flow to cover your monthly mortgage payments, and could persuade them to overlook your poor credit score. When directly consulting with home loaners, arrive prepared by having at least your last two previous pay stubs at hand as well as documentation that proves how long you’ve been working at your current position.

Increase Your Mortgage Down Payment

One of the easiest ways to get around home loans for bad credit owners is to increase your down payment offer considerably when attempting to purchase a property. Instead of putting down the usual 10-2o% down on a property, consider seriously upping this amount. You may have to go as high as a 30% down payment to convince home lenders that you’re eligible for mortgage approval, but if you have that level of cash, it may be worth it if it means getting a home loan approved for your dream home.

Use a Specialist Home Loan Bad Credit Company

There are companies out there that specialize in awarding home loans to bad credit owners. These loan companies will typically make getting a home loan approved significantly easier for you. However, the loans these companies offer also typically come with major strings attached, such as a much higher interest rate. Before you sign up for one of these types of loans, seriously consider the potential long term financial consequences.

Get a Co-Signer Who Has Good Credit

If all else fails, consider getting a co-signer on your loan who has a good credit score. This can be a risky way to go, as you must be able to trust the person that is cosigning completely, but it may also help you get your loan approved much more easily. You will probably want to ask a close friend or family member that you can absolutely trust to cosign the home loan with you, and while there’s a chance he or she could say no, it’s at least worth a try.

Car Capital Financial

If you need to raise cash fast, whether it is to put a down payment on a home or to make any other major type of purchase, call Car Capital Financial to get your cash title loan as fast as today.  Title loans are issued based on your ability to repay the loan.

How to Raise Your Credit Score Fast

August 23, 2013 by Car Capital

Do you have a low credit score and need money now? Then call Car Capital Financial at 1-888-500-9887 to get your no credit check title loan as fast as today! We provide title loans on the same day of request without ever asking to see or know what your credit score is.

And if you are looking for fast ways to raise your credit score, try our following suggestions.

Check Your Credit Report

You’d be amazed just how easily mistakes can be made on credit reports. However high or low your credit score is, get a copy of your credit report and examine it thoroughly to see if you come across any errors. If you do find errors, contact the credit bureau immediately and get the issue resolved. If an error is present, your credit score could easily be bumped up a point (or several) once this error is corrected.

 Pay off Your Debts

One of the easiest ways to raise your credit score is of course to pay off your debts. If you can afford it, pay off your debts in total immediately as this will have an immediate and substantial positive effect on your credit score. Alternatively, if you can’t afford to pay off all of your debt at once, create a strategy to start doing so and gradually begin to pay it off. The smaller the amount of debt, the better your credit score, so even if you can only put a tiny amount of cash toward your debt, do so.

Take Out an Installment Loan

Taking out a short term installment loan can actually benefit your credit score. This is because successfully paying off an installment loan demonstrates financial responsibility, and in turn your credit score will be improved. A top short term loan option to consider is a title loan, which you can take out if you have paid off your car in full or have almost paid it off. A title loan works by awarding you a cash sum based on the value of your car, and in exchange the title loan company temporarily takes ownership of your title. You are free to drive your car as you pay back your loan, and the title will be returned into your name as soon as you have paid off your loan in full. To raise your credit score quickly, definitely consider taking out a title loan.  Title loans are issued based on your ability to repay the loan.

Stop Putting as Much on Your Credit Cards

The more credit card debt you rack up, the worse your credit score, so start putting less on your card as soon as today. Try to live within your financial means as much as you can. You may need to cut back on groceries, clothes shopping, trips and various other expenses to allow yourself to live within your means. However, these are sacrifices worth taking if it means your credit score will improve.

Always Pay Your Bills

One of the most damaging things you can do to your credit score is not pay your bills on time. Unpaid bills will eventually go into a debt collections agency, which once at that stage will seriously damage your credit score. Put paying bills (such as cable, electricity, car payments etc) on the top of your financial agenda and always make sure they there are paid off first each month. Raising your credit score quickly is possible, but it takes a lot of financial responsibility, and always paying your bills on time is very much one of these responsibilities.

How to Build Credit Fast

August 15, 2013 by Car Capital

Are you looking for a fast way to build credit? Then consider taking out a title loan from Car Capital Financial. Getting an installment loan is an excellent way to build credit, so why not call us at 1-888-500-9887 now?

Building credit is essential for many of us, as it allows us to gain a good credit score which makes purchasing property, cars or taking out any kind of loan a much easier process.

However, if you don’t have a credit history, you may be wondering how to start. Luckily there are many simple but effective ways you can start building a credit history as soon as today!

Regularly Use Your Credit Card

Getting approval for a credit card doesn’t automatically mean you will have a credit history. You need to regularly use your credit card and consistently pay off your balance on a month to month basis to begin building significant credit history and in turn gain a good credit score. By all means don’t overly rely on your credit card, but do use it regularly for items you can afford to pay off by the time your next statement is due, as this will help you gain a credit history and increase your score fast.

Get a Secured Credit Card

If you are unable to get approved for a regular credit card, consider applying for a secured credit card instead. These cards work similarly to a conventional credit card only that a cash deposit is required. Usually the amount of cash you put down as a deposit functions as the secured credit card’s credit limit. Although this may not sound like a good deal, it will actually allow you to build credit and improve your chances of getting approved for a regular credit card in the future. If you successfully manage a secured credit card, this can be an excellent way to build credit  fast.

Take Out an Installment Loan

Taking out and paying off an installment loan demonstrates financial responsibility and that you are capable of managing borrowed money wisely. Therefore, taking out an installment loan (such as a title loan or auto loan) is a great way to improve your credit score and build your credit history. As long as you can pay back your installment loans consistently on time and don’t ever default on your loan, this method should allow you to get the credit results you want in relatively little time.

Get a Mortgage

Instead of paying rent on someone else’s property each month why not purchase property and apply for a mortgage? If you are approved, paying your monthly mortgage payments will reflect very well on your credit score and allow your credit to grow considerably. Of course only take out a mortgage if you are financially stable enough to commit to one. If your finances are healthy enough this is a great investment in both your credit and your financial future.

Have a Savings Account

Having an active savings account shows financial responsibility and the ability to manage money well, which should allow you to get approved for credit cards more easily and even for your credit card limit to be extended. Even if all you can put away in your savings account is as little as $25 a month, still do this, as this will be perceived very favorably by lenders and credit card companies.

Car Capital Financial

If you need to build credit fast and live in Southern California, get a title loan from Car Capital Financial. We award title loans to clients from all over Southern California that are worth thousands of dollars and that are repaid in installments over a course of three years.

We award title loans extremely quickly, often on the same day of request and in some cases in as fast as 30 minutes! Title loans are issued based on your ability to repay the loan. To get your loan today call us at 1-888-500-9887 right now!

If you’re interested in getting an auto loan but have bad credit, read our tips on how to score the very best car loan for people with bad credit here:

Getting a Car Loan With Bad Credit

Do you need to buy a new car but have bad credit? Then you may think that getting approved for an auto loan is out of the question. Luckily, this doesn’t have to be the case, as there are many ways you can improve your chances of getting a car loan, even if you have a bad credit score.

While it’s true that getting a car loan if you have bad credit isn’t as easy as for people with average or good credit scores, here are the best ways you can improve your chances of loan approval:

1. Improve Your Credit Score

Car loans for bad credit users are achievable, but to make things easier for yourself you may want to take active steps to boost your credit score before you shop for auto loans. Easy ways to give your score a boost include paying off substantial debts, always paying at least the minimum payment each month and keeping your balance on your card as low as you can. Rebuilding your score may take anywhere from a few  months to even a whole year to see major improvement, so you will want to start taking steps to boost your score as soon as you can.

2. Shop Around

Just because one auto loan company turns you down on account of your poor credit score doesn’t mean they all will, so definitely be prepared to shop around and apply to multiple companies. This will increase your odds of approval and also allow you to see exactly what’s out there. You may also want to do a little research online to see which companies are more likely to approve auto loans for bad credit holders. In addition, there are some companies that specialize in awarding bad credit car loans, but they do typically tend to charge much higher interest rates.

3. Bring Someone With You

When you’re shopping for auto loans in person, auto loan employees can easily try to intimidate you and not offer you the best deal based on your bad credit score. However, if you bring someone along with you, whether it’s your partner or friend, this might make negotiating a good deal a little easier and less intimidating. Try to find someone that has experience with negotiating auto loan terms and conditions, and ask them if they can help you for the day.

4. Explain Why You Have a Bad Credit Score

If your bad credit score isn’t a long term thing, and rather due to an unexpected emergency, such as a high medical bill, then explain it to the auto loan dealer. Bring any past credit reports that show your score was good before this occurred. Also list any actions you are taking to improve your credit score. Owning responsibility and demonstrating how you’re working toward boosting your score should impress auto loan dealers, which could very much work in your favor.

5. Consider Refinancing Later On

If you accept a car loan but it has high interest rates because of your bad credit, consider refinancing in a year or two. Once you’ve rebuilt your credit score you’ll likely be able to refinance your loan at a much lower interest rate, making for lower loan payments each month. Therefore, your high interest car loan will only be temporarily, and eventually you will be able to score yourself a much better deal.

Bad Credit is OK Auto Title Loans

There are two main type of car loans out there – auto loans (such as the one described above) and car title loans.

At Car Capital Financial, we specialize in awarding title loans to people from all over Southern California. If you own your car in full (or have almost paid if off) and it has a wholesale value of at least $5000, then you very likely qualify for one of our title loans.

Our title loans work by us awarding you with an amount based on the value of your car (typically in the range of many thousands of dollars) in exchange for us taking temporary ownership of your car’s title (the “pink slip”). You will then have up to 3 years to gradually pay back your loan to us in installments, during which you’re free to drive and use your vehicle as much and however you want.

We don’t do a credit check, so good or bad credit, you may still get a loan from us!  Title loans are issued based on your ability to repay the loan.

To get your loan today, call us now at 1-888-500-9887!

 

The Pros and Cons of Secured Credit Cards

We are a leading Southern California title loan company, that delivers cash loans to our clients often on the same day of request and in many cases in as fast as 30 minutes!

If you need cold, hard cash now to pay for your unique financial needs, call us at 1-888-500-9887 to get your money today!

And if you’re still curious about what a secured credit card is and how to get a secured credit card, read on:

What is a Secured Credit Card?

A secured credit card is a type of credit card that works differently from the traditional credit card by requiring a cash deposit. This deposit provided by you will usually serve as the line of credit. For example, if you provide $500 as a deposit, your total line of credit will be $500.

At first glance this may not seem like a great deal, especially because a cash deposit is required, but it is an excellent method for people with bad credit to rebuild their credit and increase their chances of getting approved for a traditional credit card in the future.

Before you apply for a secured credit card, consider the pros and cons to getting a secured credit card:

The Pros:

  •  Helps Rebuild Credit – If you’ve been refused approval of a regular credit card because of your bad credit or have no credit history, a secured credit card can be a great solution. Approval of secured credit cards for bad credit holders is common, as many people see this as one of the cheapest and most reliable ways to rebuild their credit score and eventually get approved for a traditional credit card. If you want to boost your credit score fast, getting a secured credit card is an excellent way to do so.
  • Low Fees – Some regular credit cards charge high fees but luckily many secured credit card companies typically only charge a low annual fee for using the card, which can be as low as $25. For anyone that wants a credit card minus the pricey fees, a secured credit card can be a great solution.
  • Easy to Get – As long as you have enough cash to put down as your deposit, you will likely get approved for a secured credit card. The deposit serves as collateral and financial security on the credit card companies behalf, so they will typically be more willing to approve applicants (regardless of their credit score) compared to traditional credit card companies.

The Cons:

  • A Cash Deposit is Required – The cash deposit can also serve as a major con. If you don’t have cash to begin with, you won’t be able to get a secured credit card. For those that are in desperate financial need and need a credit card to pay for things they’re not currently able to do so with cash, a secured credit card simply isn’t an option. Only consider taking out this type of credit card if you have enough cash for the deposit.
  • The Amount of Credit is Very Limited – The credit limit awarded to a secured credit card user is mostly only the value of the deposit, and as a result the line of credit will always be limited to what you can afford to put down as a deposit. If you want a credit card to cover expensive emergencies, you will probably be better off trying to take out a regular credit card with a larger credit limit.
  • High Interest Rates – Many secured credit cards will charge higher interest rates than regular credit cards, making it imperative that you pay off your credit balance each month to avoid the steep fees.

And if you’re interested in taking out a credit card, but have a poor credit score and are concerned how this will affect your chances of getting credit card approval, read on to get our credit card for poor credit holders advice:

Credit Cards for People with Bad Credit

If you have bad credit it’s true that you may have a harder time in getting a credit card approved, but it’s by no means impossible. Even if you’ve already been turned down by credit card companies due to your bad credit history, there are certain ways you can boost your application and increase your chances of getting credit card approval.

Here are our top 5 tips for getting credit cards with bad credit:

1. Get a Cosigner

Much like with a mortgage or a lease on a car, bad credit holders can also get a cosigner to sign on to their credit card agreement. If you know someone you can trust, who has a stellar credit score and history, you may want to consider asking if he or she will be willing to cosign. Just make sure that you will be the only one to use the credit card because  if the cosigner is also able to use the credit card and racks up debt you will still legally have to pay if off. This can be a good credit card solution for bad credit holders, but only if you can truly trust the cosigner.

2. Choose a no Credit Check Credit Card Company

There are some no credit check credit cards companies that won’t even request to see your credit card score and often advertise themselves as “no credit check” companies. However, often these cards come with various strings attached, such as exceptionally high interest rates and various other hidden fees attached. The credit limit may also be very small in order to reduce the risk on the credit card companies side of the deal. Look into this option by all means, but be aware of its potential shortcomings as well.

3. Explain Your Poor Credit Situation to Credit Card Companies

If your poor credit score is due to an unexpected emergency (such as a high medical bill) and was a good number prior to this event, you may want to explain this to credit card companies. Provide documented proof that your credit score used to be higher and demonstrate any ways in which you are working toward improving its current score. This should show the credit card company that you’re not financially irresponsible which may persuade them to approve your card application.

4. Have Money in the Bank

Demonstrate to each credit card company you apply to that you have a significant amount of cash in your checking and saving accounts. Print off bank statements and attach them to your application as this demonstrates that you’re not spending every single cent you earn, and are thus less likely to solely rely on credit cards.

5. Apply for a Credit Card that has a Low Limit

When it comes to getting a credit card with bad credit, one of the easiest ways to get approval is to apply for a card that has a low limit. The lower the limit the less the credit card company has to lose, and thus should be more accommodating in approving your credit card application. Aim to apply for a card with the lowest possible limit, and this should significantly increase your odds of getting approved.

 How to Score Auto Loans with Bad Credit:

Just because you have bad credit doesn’t mean you can’t still get a good deal on a car loan. Traditionally car loan lenders are reluctant to lend to bad credit holders because they worry they will default on the loan and as a result if they do award them with a loan they often charge higher interest rates . However, there are some ways you can work around this and still get a great deal, and some of these ideas include:

1. Go Through a Specialist Company

There are some car loan companies out there that specialize in awarding auto loans to bad credit holders and as a result they may charge you lower interest rates than what you’d get through a traditional auto loan company. A quick online search will reveal a ton of specialist bad credit auto loan companies so be prepared to contact as many as you can and shop around for the very best deal.

2. Consider a Title Loan

As earlier mentioned, a title loan is an excellent way to raise cash fast if you already own a car in full or only have a few remaining payments left. A title loan works by awarding you money based on the appraised value of your car, which you are then free to spend on whatever you want – which absolutely includes buying a new car! In return the title loan company will temporarily own your car’s title, however you are still free to use and drive your existing car as you repay the loan. Once you have repaid the loan in full your title will be returned back to your name. To get a low interest title loan, make sure you know upfront what the interest rate will be before you take out the loan, as this should help you repay your loan more easily.

To get a title loan today, call Car Capital Financial at 1-888-500-9887. We specialize in delivering same day requests, reliable title loans to our customers in a matter of hours. You could get the money you need for your new car as soon as today, so call us now!

3. Explain Your Poor Credit Situation

If you have a bad credit score because of a sudden financial emergency or despite your bad score you still own considerable equity (such as have significant equity in your house) you should explain this to each car loan company you deal with. If you can demonstrate that your poor credit score is only a recent and temporary development and that you’re taking active steps to recover your score to what it once was, a car loan lender may be more than willing to give you a decent or even low interest rate on your loan. There’s no guarantee that this strategy will work, but it’s worth a try.

4. Take Out A Large Auto Loan

Generally speaking the larger the loan the lower the interest rate, as the loan company wants to drag out your repayments and accrue as much interest for as long as possible. As a result, it may be best to take out a larger auto loan to get the best deal on interest. This will mean putting less money down but it may also mean you will be able to get a low interest auto loan.

5. Improve Your Credit Score

At the end of the day, the easiest way to get a lowest interest car loan is to have a great credit score. If yours is lacking, you may want to simply put off getting a car loan for as long as possible to give you enough time to rebuild your credit score. Simple and fast ways to boost your credit score include always paying off at least the minimum payment each month, stop putting as much on your card on a month to month basis and of course try to pay all of your balance off as fast as you can.

Car Capital Financial

At Car Capital Financial we don’t care about your credit score and the interest rate on your loan won’t be affected by it whatsoever! We have been providing title loans to Southern California residents for over 15 years.

4 Different Types of Loans

March 27, 2013 by Car Capital

Are you looking for a loan but not sure what type of loan to get? Do you own your car in full or just have just a few remaining payments? If so, then call 1-888-500-9887 to find out about car title loans from Car Capital Financial. We can get you a loan in a matter of hours, delivering money in as little as 30 minutes from first receiving your phone call.

If you’re still considering the different types of loans available, read on to discover 4 popular types of loans and the easiest ways to apply for them:

1. Mortgages

There are many different types of home loans but the most common is the mortgage. A mortgage lends borrowers a huge amount of money, up to the total amount of the property they are trying to buy, in exchange for monthly repayments with interest tacked on as a financing fee. As houses are so costly, the majority of homeowners need to take out a mortgage in order to finance their home.

A mortgage almost always requires a down payment, the amount of which can range dramatically, based on what the borrower can afford. Typically, however, borrowers must usually make a down payment of at least 5-20% of the total mortgage amount to secure a mortgage. Most individuals who put down any less than 20% also have to pay for something called “PMI” or Private Mortgage Insurance until they’ve accumulated 20% equity in their home. Generally speaking though, the more money you can put down, the better mortgage you can get (due to lower interest rates).

To get a mortgage, you will need to directly contact a mortgage company. There may be a mortgage division at the bank you use or you can use a company that solely specializes in awarding and managing mortgages. A mortgage can take weeks, or even months to process and usually requires extensive paperwork, background checks and phone calls – but this lengthy process is more than worth it if it means you can finance the house of your dreams. However, if you need money quickly for a non-housing issue, then a mortgage won’t be an option for you.

2. Student Loans

Student loans are another extremely popular type of loan, and are taken out by students who can’t afford to pay for the entire cost of their education up front. There are many different types of student loans, but the most common two are Private student loans and Federal student loans.

Private student loans are offered by private lending companies that specialize in providing student loans. Federal student loans are awarded directly from the Federal Government, and usually charge lower interest rates than private loans, but they typically can’t offer as much as private loans can. As such, students planning on attending costly private college programs or studying out-of-state are almost always forced to rely on private lending options.

To get student loans, students will usually have to be admitted to their school of choice and then apply by filling out paperwork and providing various required documentation. Student loans can often be applied for by mail, online or through the financial aid office at the student’s university or college. Student loans have become an essential and unavoidable way for many students to cover the costs of their college education.

3. Business Loans

There are various types of business loans available, but all are designed to lend money to business owners who need extra funds to establish or expand their enterprises. One common type of business loan is the government funded Small Business Loan, which aims to encourage small business growth and success through lending small, short term loans to small businesses.

These loans can be a great way to borrow money from a reliable source that will typically charge a fair interest rate, but it should also be noted that government funded loans tend to be awarded in much smaller amounts than other business loan options.

If you want to borrow a serious amount of money to fund your business you will want to consider obtaining it from private investors, getting a line of credit or considering other secured personal loan options.

4. Car Loans

There are two main types of car loans: an auto loan and a car title loan. An auto loan funds the borrower with money to buy a new or used car, whereas a title loan uses the borrower’s existing car’s title as equity to secure them a loan they can use on whatever they’d like.

The truth is most of us can’t afford to buy a car outright in cash, and that’s where an auto loan comes in. Many car companies work with auto loan companies that provide car financing options for car buyers. You can expect to put down a cash down payment on a car, and then be required to take out an auto loan to cover what’s left, which you must be repay in monthly installments (with interest tacked on of course).

A car title loan doesn’t involve getting a new car but rather using your existing car to raise money. A title loan company will typically award you with a cash amount based on the value of your car in exchange for taking temporary ownership of your car’s title. Once you’ve repaid your loan in full, your car’s title will be returned into your name. If you need cash fast (title loans can often be awarded on the same day of request) and own a car in full or have almost paid it off, a title loan can be a great short term loan solution.

Choose Car Capital Financial

Avoid the time-consuming paperwork and weeks of processing required from many of the loan options listed above by choosing to take out a safe, reliable and affordable car title loan from Car Capital Financial.  Title loans are issued based on your ability to repay the loan.

We are a leading Southern California title loan company and can get you your loan extremely quickly. We can process your loan on the same day of request – delivering your money as fast as 30 minutes.

How to Stop Car Repossession

October 9, 2012 by Car Capital

If you own or are leasing a vehicle, you risk having your car being repossessed if you fall behind on your monthly payments. Losing a car to repossession is every driver’s worse nightmare, and one that is a very real possibility for drivers who either lease or still have payments left on their bought vehicle.

Having your vehicle repossessed means that someone drives a tow truck to your house, hooks up your vehicle and drives off with it, never to return. Whatever you paid on the vehicle is lost, and you will no longer have access to it. Cars are typically repossessed by companies hired by the creditor who loaned you money and who you haven’t paid back on time. If your car gets repossessed, it’s likely you’ll never see it again since your lender will probably sell it at auction within just a few days.

How To Boost Your Credit Score

June 29, 2012 by Car Capital

How to Improve Your Credit Score

Credit scores are very important in the United States, as a good credit score is often required to rent a property, lease a car, take out a mortgage or receive other types of loans. Read on to understand exactly what a credit score is, what affects a credit score, how to avoid credit score pitfalls and how to improve your existing credit score.

What is a Credit Score?

Credit scores are based on your credit history, calculated by credit bureaus such as Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. These bureaus calculate your credit score based on how much credit you have used and how quickly you have repaid the credit you’ve taken out.

Good credit scores these days are essentially anything above 700, while having a score beneath 700 has recently been deemed as unsatisfactory and could even lead you to being rejected from obtaining certain loans or additional credit cards.

What Affects Your Credit Score?

Your credit card score is ultimately determined by how well and how frequently you make repayments on your credit cards or other debt obligations. Paying your rent on time, making car payments or mortgage payments, paying the electricity bill, water bill, tv and internet bill and other similar activities can all affect your credit score.

Here’s a breakdown of just a few of the many elements that determine your credit score:

  • Your Payment History – If you have a habit of letting months go by without making any repayments to your credit card, then your credit score will be nowhere near 700.
  • Only Paying Minimum Payments – Making a minimum payment to your credit card won’t affect your credit card as much as not paying anything at all, but if you continue to only make minimum payments this will eventually negatively affect your credit score.
  • Maxing Out Your Credit Cards – The difference between what you owe on your credit card and your credit card limit plays a big part in how your credit card score is calculated. If you have maxed out a card, or multiple cards, this will reflect poorly on your score, whereas if you owe very little on all of your cards, this will improve your credit score.
  • Making Late Payments – A recent study by from Fair Isaac, which developed FICO scores, reports that being 30 days late on a mortgage payment affects your credit score by dropping it somewhere between 40 and 110 points. Being late 90 days was reported to drop credit scores between 70 and 135 points.
  • Length of Credit History – How long you have owned your credit cards also affects your score, as people with the highest scores have often maintained a regular repayment scheme on their credit cards for at least five years. Even people who manage their credit card well may have an average or even below average credit score if they have only had a credit card for a year or so.
  • Declaring Bankruptcy – Declaring bankruptcy can negatively affect your credit score for years to come. Counter-intuitively, bankruptcies have a greater impact on people who previously had a great credit score than they do on those with poor credit scores. Depending on which Chapter you file, a bankruptcy virtually ruins your credit for years to come (7 years for Chapter 13, 10 years for Chapter 11 or Chapter 7). The same study noted above by Fair Isaac reported that bankruptcy can drop your credit score somewhere between 130-240 points, which is a serious hit that should be avoided at all costs.
  • Foreclosures, Short Sales & Deeds-in-lieu – Foreclosures, short sales, and deeds-in-lieu certainly aren’t good for your credit score, but recent reports show them to be slightly less negative than bankruptcies. Filing for foreclosure is likely to decrease your credit score somewhere between 85-160 points.

How Do You Improve Your Credit Score?

A bad credit score causes significant problems when trying to buy a house, rent a property, or finance a major purchase, but fortunately there are many ways to improve your credit score. Here are just a few:

Make Payments Regularly and On Time

Avoid late fees, interest charges and other penalties by always aiming to make your credit card repayments on a regular basis and on time. This is the quickest way to improve your credit score. This can be easier said than done, especially if you earn a low income or simply don’t have a lot of cash lying around, but the quicker you can pay off your debts, the faster your credit score will be restored to a healthy number.

Have Multiple Credit Cards, Each with Low Balances

To avoid maxing out your credit card, which can be extremely damaging to your credit score, take out multiple credit cards, each of which you maintain a low balance on. Paying off these cards individually and on time will help you to maintain a good credit score and establish a solid credit history.

Stop Putting as Much on Your Card

In order to maintain a healthy credit history, you will still need to make some charges to your card, but try to limit how much you put on it. Remember that decreasing the gap between how much you owe and your credit card’s limit will negatively affect your score, since your credit usage ratio is a major determining factor. Try to only put essentials on your credit card, and pay for everything else with cash, debit card or by check.

Take Out an Installment Loan

How you manage an installment loan, such as an auto title loan, is another way in which credit bureaus will analyze your credit history. If you take out an installment loan and make regular repayments both on time and for the full amounts owed, then your credit score is likely to improve. Proving that you can effectively manage a credit card and an installment loan shows creditors that you are responsible with loans and are a reliable person worthy of being provided with additional credit.

Contact Your Creditors

If all else fails, you may need to contact your creditors to ask them to reduce your debt obligations. If you’re unable to pay off your bills and are worried about how this is affecting your card score, you can contact your creditors directly to see if some kind of arrangement can be made to consolidate your debt or even reduce the amount that you owe.

Sometimes lenders, and especially credit card companies, will suspend interest for a couple of months if they believe that you actually can’t pay them back, while others may offer repayment plans that are more manageable and realistic for your current income levels. Contacting creditors is never fun, but in some tough situations, it does become an absolute necessity.

Major Credit Score Pitfalls to Avoid

To protect your credit score, be sure to avoid some of the following pitfalls. While these aren’t all heavily publicized, nor as damaging as the problems we outlined in the section about what determines your credit score, the following activities all have the potential to damage your credit score:

Treating Your Credit Card as Money

Credit isn’t the same thing as money and it really isn’t supposed to be used in the same way as cold, hard cash. Credit should be paid back as quickly as possible to prove that you are using it responsibly, and to avoid having too much interest tacked on to whatever you’ve spent.

When you use your credit cards, keep in mind that you will have to make repayments for whatever you’ve spent, plus interest. Spend carefully, don’t neglect to pay your bills on time, and monitor your credit card statements like a hawk to prevent your healthy credit score from being damaged.

Applying for another Credit Card, Once You’ve Maxed out Others

It’s true that if you have multiple credit cards this can help boost your credit score, but only if you are using them responsibly. If you pay each of them off regularly, and maintain low balances, then this is definitely a plus for your score, but doing anything other than that could lead to credit score disasters.

If you have maxed out your credit cards, try to avoid the temptation of taking out another one and instead cut back your spending, sell some personal items, and do other things to get out of debt before using any additional credit.

This may not help improve your credit score, but doing otherwise could cause significant damage to it. Creditors (lenders) do not want to give money to people who are borrowing from one group to pay back another, as that risky type of behavior is likely to lead to financial ruin. For your credit score’s sake always try to pay off maxed out cards before opening new ones.

Closing a Credit Card Account if Debt is Owed

If you owe money on a credit card, your debt isn’t going to be erased by simply closing your account. In fact, debt collectors will be hounding you for repayments even more aggressively than ever before. To get rid of your credit card debt, you’ll either have to pay it off or declare bankruptcy. Paying off your credit card will help raise your credit score, but doing anything otherwise (and especially declaring bankruptcy) will almost certainly send your score plummeting.

Closing Thoughts

You can improve your credit score by following the various tips outlined above, but remember that it’s a lengthy process. Demonstrating that you’re a responsible user of credit takes time, determination, and dedication. Pay down your debt, do not open new lines of credit, and do your best to avoid using your credit cards unless you can’t avoid it, and you’ll be on the path to having a proper credit score in no time.

If you find yourself in an emergency situation with your back against the proverbial wall, and no way to come up with the money needed to pay for your bills, then consider taking an option of last resort like calling Car Capital Financial to discuss the possibility of taking out a car title loan. We can provide you with the liquidity you need to get out of a short-term crisis, without causing you long-term financial distress. Title loans are issued based on your ability to repay the loan.
