Bad Credit or No Credit? No Problem!

The cycle of bad credit feeds itself and often feels like an uphill battle. Rebuilding your credit can be especially difficult if you need a reliable vehicle to get you to work so that you can earn a paycheck to pay your bills on time and avoid late fees, bankruptcy, and other factors that contribute to poor credit history. Fortunately, you can end the cycle when you shop for a vehicle with Richard Lucas Chevrolet. We can help you rebuild your credit and get back on the road to financial success.

Bad credit is attributed to a variety of factors, from not paying your bills on time and defaulting on your loan to filing bankruptcy.

Because we know that a car loan is a great way to improve your credit score.

Your credit score is based on five categories: payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, credit mix, and new credit. New credit and the types of credit each make up 10% of your score, which means that a new car loan can help boost your score in both these categories. The length of your credit history makes up 15% of your score, while the amount owed makes up 30%. The biggest portion of your score is your payment history (35%) and is one of the easiest factors that you can change. If your history is marked by months of late payments, you can slowly rebuild your history by making your car loan payments on time and in full, which will improve your score dramatically over time.
