Our Approach

We Look at the Whole Picture — Not Just a Score

Your credit score is one data point. Here's what actually matters to us and our lenders.

What We Actually Look At

Income stability. Do you have steady income — employment, disability, military pay, self-employment, BAH/BAS? That matters more than a three-digit score.

Down payment. A down payment reduces lender risk. We'll tell you upfront what a realistic number looks like for your situation — no guessing.

Time at current job or address. Stability signals matter. Even 3–6 months at the same job helps significantly.

What you can comfortably afford. We won't put you in a payment you can't handle. We'd rather find the right vehicle for your budget than make a sale that creates a hardship.

What Doesn't Disqualify You

A past repossession. Yes, it makes things harder. But with the right lender and down payment, it's not automatic disqualification.

A bankruptcy. Lenders like Credit Acceptance understand that life happens. A discharged bankruptcy can actually make you more financeable than an active one.

No credit history at all. If you've never had a loan, you might think that hurts you. In many cases, a blank slate is easier to work with than a damaged credit file.

An ITIN instead of SSN. Not all lenders accept ITIN — but our partners do. Tell us your situation and we'll point you to the right option.

Exactly What Happens After You Reach Out

1

You fill out the form or call us

No SSN required at this point. We just need your name, phone, and a rough idea of what you're looking for. That's enough to get started.

2

We call or text you within minutes

A real person from our team — not a bot, not a call center. We'll ask a few quick questions about your income and what you're looking to spend monthly.

3

We pull your credit (with permission) and submit to lenders

This is a hard pull — we'll tell you before it happens. We submit to multiple lenders simultaneously, including Credit Acceptance, to maximize your chances.

4

We tell you exactly what you're approved for

Amount, monthly payment, down payment required. No vague answers. If something doesn't work, we tell you why and what to do about it — even if it means waiting a bit.

5

You pick your vehicle and drive home

We match your approval to something on our lot that fits. Paperwork usually takes under an hour. We've had customers call in the morning and drive home by afternoon.

Before You Come In

What to Bring to the Dealership

Having these ready speeds everything up significantly.

🪪

Valid ID

State-issued driver's license, TX ID, or passport. ITIN holders — bring your ITIN letter and a valid foreign ID or consular ID.

💼

Proof of Income

Two recent pay stubs, military LES, bank statements showing deposits, or a letter from your employer. Self-employed? Bank statements work.

🏠

Proof of Address

A utility bill, bank statement, or any official mail from the last 30–60 days showing your current address.

📱

Phone Number

An active phone number where lenders can reach you. Lenders verify this as part of the approval process.

💳

Down Payment

Cash, debit, or card. Amount varies by situation — we'll tell you the range before you come in so there are no surprises.

📋

References (sometimes)

Some lenders request 3–5 personal references. Just names and phone numbers of people who know you — doesn't affect their credit.

If You're Thinking It, Someone Else Already Asked It

"Will you really approve me? I've been turned down everywhere."

We can't promise approval without knowing your situation, and we won't insult you with a fake guarantee. What we can tell you is that Credit Acceptance has a higher approval rate than most traditional lenders specifically for people who've been denied elsewhere. If we can't get you approved today, we'll tell you exactly what needs to change and help you get there.

"How much will my payment be?"

It depends on the vehicle price, your down payment, the loan term, and your approved interest rate. As a rough guide: a $10,000 vehicle with $1,500 down on a 60-month term at a subprime rate might run $220–$270/month. We'll give you real numbers for your actual situation — not estimates.

"How much do I need for a down payment?"

Typically $500–$2,000 depending on the vehicle and your credit situation. Higher down payment = lower payment and easier approval. We'll give you the honest number before you come in.

"Will applying hurt my credit score?"

Filling out our form does not. A hard pull happens when we actually run your credit with lenders — we always ask permission first and tell you before it happens.

"My car got repossessed. Can I still get approved?"

Possibly, yes. It's one of the hardest situations to finance, but Credit Acceptance is specifically designed for it. The more time since the repo and the stronger your current income, the better.
