Bad credit history
How Do You Get a Loan When No-One Will Approve You?
Being declined for a loan can feel like hitting a brick wall — especially when it keeps happening. At Zoom Car Loans, we know how disheartening it can be when traditional lenders say “no,” again and again.
But don’t give up just yet.
Even with bad credit or a tricky financial history, there are ways to get approved for finance. You just need to know where to look and how to approach it.
Here’s how we help people who feel stuck find the right loan — even when no-one else will approve them.
1. Work With a Specialist Broker
Your first move should be to stop applying with big banks and mainstream lenders. These lenders often have strict rules, and if your credit score doesn’t fit their mould, you’re unlikely to be approved.
That’s where Zoom Car Loans comes in.
As brokers who specialise in helping people with bad credit, we work with a wide range of non-bank and second-chance lenders across Australia. We know which lenders are open to looking beyond your credit score — and which ones to avoid.
By understanding your situation in detail, we can match you with a lender who’s more likely to say yes.
2. Be Honest About Your Finances
When we work with you, we don’t judge — we listen. We take the time to understand your full financial picture, including your income, expenses, and any debts you may have.
You don’t need perfect credit, but you do need to show that you can afford the repayments.
We’ll guide you through what’s realistic based on your circumstances and help you avoid taking on more than you can handle. Responsible lending is important to us.
3. Focus on Stability
Lenders love stability. If you’ve been in the same job for a while, are living at the same address long-term, or have regular income from employment, Centrelink, or self-employment — these are all positive signs.
If you’re still working on building that stability, we may recommend waiting a little while or working with us to build a stronger application before applying.
4. Look Beyond Just Car Loans
Despite our name, Zoom Car Loans also helps people with other types of finance — including loans for motorbikes, caravans, boats, or even personal loans.
If you need help getting back on track financially, we’ll look at all available options that might work for you.
5. Don’t Keep Applying Everywhere
Too many loan applications in a short space of time can make things worse. Every time you apply directly to a lender, it leaves a mark on your credit file.
At Zoom Car Loans, we don’t do that. We pre-assess your application and only submit it to a lender once we know there’s a good chance of approval.
