Getting a Car Loan with Bad Financial History: What You Need to Know
At Zoom Car Loans, we know that life doesn’t always go to plan. A few missed bills, a rough patch with work, or an unexpected emergency can leave a mark on your credit file.
But a bad financial history shouldn’t mean you’re locked out of getting the car you need.
We specialise in helping Aussies with bad credit get behind the wheel—with real loan solutions that are achievable, responsible, and tailored to your situation.
Can I Get a Car Loan with Bad Financial History?
Yes, you can.
While traditional lenders may automatically reject applications with defaults, bankruptcies, or late payments, there are specialist lenders out there—ones we work with every day—who are willing to take a broader view of your circumstances.
At Zoom Car Loans, we connect you with those lenders, advocating on your behalf to give you the best possible shot at approval.
What Counts as “Bad” Financial History?
You might have bad credit if you’ve experienced:
- Loan defaults or credit card charge-offs
- Missed repayments or overdue accounts
- Bankruptcy or Part IX debt agreements
- A low credit score due to limited borrowing history
- Payday loan usage or court judgements
While these issues can make traditional banks say no, we focus on what’s changed—like your current employment, income stability, and your ability to make repayments now.
