My car was totaled in a minor collision and it was my only means of transportation. Now I'm really nervous about being able to finance a new vehicle with my current credit scores. Here is where I am at:

 

- The car had one missed payment at the end and I was a cosigner on it. My insurance paid off the $840 dollars remaining on it, but it is still showing on my reports as a charge off with a balance of $840.

- I also have a collection for $2800 with CAP1 that was settled last month for $1,100 and is being paid in three payments.

- I have two other collections, both for an old apartment. One is for $2,900 and one for $750. These two hit the 7 year mark in July of this year.

- My TU score on CK is at 561, EQ is 628.

- My EX FICO 8 score shows as 686. This score doesn't show the charge off for the car or any collections.

- After the car was totaled I have about $5k for a down payment and could probably push it to $6K if needed.

 

I know this is far from the best place to be for purchasing a vehicle, but am I in a really tough spot, or am I overthinking it? I'm not expecting a great interest rate or anything, but I am nervous about actually being approved for anything.

That's good to hear and kind of eases my anxiety a bit. Thanks! How could I go about proving it is PIF? Could I just show them in my insurance claim where they made the payment?

That should be sufficient.  A copy of the check, or an analyst phone call to verify the loan is PIF.

 

Thanks again for the help! I'll be heading to the dealership on Thursday so hopefully I'll be driving back in a new car.

I was able to take today off instead of Thursday so I spent the entire day at the dealership. Incredibly bummed that the only two new cars they had in stock were both sold after i left on Monday (just stopped by to look at them on my way in to work). 
 

ao I had my choice of a few certified pre owned Foresters. I chose one I really liked I got approved an initially my APR was insane. 13.99% I told them it’s not happening and started packing my bags. The finance manager said to hold tight because he was still checking on what they could do. Eventually it got down to 7.99% and a manageable monthly payment, however it is on my high end. 
 

what did me in was the settled Cap1 collection. The dealership used Cap1 as their bank. I needed a car very badly (didn’t tel them that) and settled for what I felt was right. Now I’m looking forward to my credit being in a much better spot in six months so I can refinance. This market is absolutely wild and I hope no one else has to buy a car in it.

so they just sent over the electronic copy of my contract and I’m a little confused on something. Price listed for the car was 32K. Under “itemization of amount financed” line 1 has the taxes, around $2100, then over in the total column to the right is nearly 39k. I put down 7500 so the bottom total is 31K. Am I missing something?

Are you looking at the REG Z box off the contract?


im not sure. It just says “itemization of amount financed” and line one has a line with “sales tax” and the amount, then a few with “NA” and the last line has the total of around 38K. I don’t see anything about “reg z.”

Are you still confused?

 

That section is right above what I am talking about. It makes sense, just the numbers don't quite add up for me. I'm thinking there was possibly some kind of package added on that I'm not seeing? Is it ok to post an image of the section I am referencing without any personal information?

Now that I am looking at it on my desktop I can see all of my documents. I think I was had. I was under the impression that windshield protection and the extended warranty were being included, but it looks like they were added to the total of the car.

The Debt Cancellation Agreement fee is the one that beats the hell out of me...the only other big amount is the service contract. 

 

You say 'price listed' was $32K, but you don't indicate if that was a figure from before or after your down payment as you understood the original negotiations.

 

Sales tax and doc fees seem standard...

Jesus H Christ.....................you paid $1500.00 for GAP Ins and $3500.00 for a service contract!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😟

 

The service contract is what I am really upset about. I was told it was being included and no prices were mentioned. I was told having the gap insurance would be the only way to get my interest rate down. Here is the listed price:

That is a clear violation of TILA and also UDAAP.   Both the GAP policy and the Service Contract would have had pricing on them, which you should have seen when you signed the forms.   You outright got lied to, and why did you not question the amount being financed when you made such a large down payment?

I'm pretty sure the pricing was there, I just wasn't directed to them. It was more of a "hey this explains the service contract we talked about including earlier and here is what it covers ok sign here." I messed up. I think I got so caught up in being in range (albeit the very far end of it) of monthly payments, knowing that I had bad credit, and knowing I desperately needed a vehicle that I just didn't notice.
