Congratulations, you are approved for a bad credit car loan, and you have taken the very first step towards re-building your credit history. Here are few tips and good practices on how to re-building your credit history in a timely fashion.
Remember rebuilding your credit is very much the same as to rebuild your creditability. It is your chance to show the bank or “lender” you have changed your ways about paying for something. It is not only a social behavior change but a life style change.
What is the minimum duration before I can see an increase in my credit score?
The minimum term when it comes to rebuilding one’s credit history usually takes 12 month, or one year. This is the typical timeline a lender will use to judge your improvement when it comes to paying. So it is crucial for you not to miss any bill payments during this period. It is always good to show initiative without collection agency’s interference. For example you are paying off small debts voluntarily versus ignoring collection phone calls after phone calls.
You shouldn’t seek out any additional loans during this period unless it is absolutely necessary. For example, if you are driving a vehicle that is been financed, don’t try to upgrade to a better vehicle within that time period. Stay with that car, and the monthly payment to show the lender you have creditability and stability. This in turn will improve your financial image and it is telling the banks you are financially matured to take on more responsibilities.
Increase your income! I understand this is easier said then done, but if you have the opportunity to increase your income through a part time job or additional hours. This will directly reflect on your purchase power, in the eyes of the lender the more income you have the more payments you can afford. After all the banks are in it to make a profit through the interest they are charging you, they just want to make sure their investment is secure and protected.
