How long will it take to get a loan?

Depending on your personal financial situation and the type of loan you're looking for, the entire process might only take a few hours or could take a few days. Once you fill out the WVCarLoan.com informational questionnaire, you'll be contacted by potential lenders. If you have information ready such as the amount you'd like to borrow and the car you have in mind, the application process can be extremely fast. If your credit isn't excellent, the process might take a while longer – but remember that there are loan programs available even for consumers who have had credit troubles in the past. Your personal situation will impact the types of loan programs offered to you, if any.

What should I do if I have bad credit?

First, work immediately to improve your credit score. One of the best ways to do this is by paying your bills on time every month. Borrowers with less-than-perfect credit will encounter a more challenging lending environment, but factors such as your income and collateral can assist them in receiving loans while they work to improve their credit scores. Remember to never borrow more than you can afford – doing the opposite can affect your credit rating for many years. Your credit rating can be rehabilitated, but it will take time and dedication.

Is my information secure on this Web site?

Absolutely. WVCarLoan.com uses encryption software to keep the information provided in your questionnaire secure. Some of the most respected lenders in the area partner with WVCarLoan.com, so consumers can feel confident in the caliber of business with which they're working. Once prospective lenders contact you, it's your decision which companies you choose to work with. You can apply for several loans and receive competitive quotes for the best type of comparison-shopping available. Everything is in your control.

Is this site only good for new cars? What about used?

Because WVCarLoan.com works with respected lenders in your area, there is a wide variety of loan programs available for prospective borrowers. Be sure to inform lenders whether you're interested in a new or used car loan, because the interest rates and programs could vary. If you have information such as the name of the individual or company from which you intend to purchase the car, or the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), that also could speed up the used car application process. The more information you have, the better.
