Car Loan
Hi all,
I have an income of £1982 pcm and i have been rejected for car credit through 3 different loan companies the dealer has tried. now basically a few years ago i got into a big of bother with a few companies and i have nearly paid my debt off, paying back £500 a month. Now i can afford around £200 on a new car.. as mine has just about had it. I have been googling car loans, and it seems you can secure a loan against your car. Has anyone done this before...
For example.. 'carloan4u' Although it doesnt state an APR, but what happens i think is that the company pay the dealer and then it gets secured against the car. anyone any experiance with this that can help me out
regards
stuart

I would avoid any company with a name like 'carloan4u' like the plague. They sound very sub-prime. If their business practice is as bad as their English usage they will probably rip you off.I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.0

Got to agree with this. I try hard not to do business with companies with stupid "txt spk" names like this at all*, and so far it's served me well. I assume the owner has a short attention span if they can't be bothered to write out their business name properly and I don't want the same "care" applied to whatever services I would be buying from them.If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything0 -
carloan4u as far as i am aware are a broker and deal (for example) with companies like welcome finance.
If you have nearly cleared off your debt could you not wait a little bit then save up and buy it yourself without the need of finance?0
