Use Your Auto Loan to Rebuild Credit

Here's the good news: a bad credit auto loan can actually help you improve your credit score over time. When you make your payments on time each month, you're building a positive payment history — the single biggest factor in your credit score.

  • On-time payments are reported to credit bureaus
  • Adds an installment account to your credit mix
  • May qualify for refinancing at a better rate after 12-24 months
