Hi i have had bad credit since making mistakes as a youngster. I have now saved a 20% deposit with a stable job and perfect saving record over a year. Was curious if i was better to look at getting finance from NZ and property there as nobody will touch me in australia. Thanks
Are you sure no-one will touch you in Aus? Imperfect credit isn’t the end of the world – some lenders will still provide finance if your credit record isn’t perfect. There even some lenders who will provide finance for discharged bankrupts from day 1.
If it is long time ago, say 5+ years ago, then you still have good chance to get the lending from the major lender(s), providing you have been paying all the creditor(s) on time …etc.
Just like Jamie mentioned above, it’s all come down to what’s on your credit file.
I do alot of bad credit loans – from 1 plus day bankrupt to huge credit defaults, there will be lenders for you, however the product and rate will vary. As you have deposit – what about your income?
Your not priced out, however need to choose the right lender to get the best rate.
As mentioned above, still lots of options for credit impaired – dependent on the circumstances the results can arrange anywhere between marginally more expensive than mainstream credit to extortionate.
Generally first step is to get any debts paid out – ongoing unpaid defaults aren’t going to help you.
