How do your repair bad credit in Canada?

In Canada a bad credit history can haunt you for years and limit your chances of getting a car loan, using a credit card or financing your new home. A bad credit score can literally put your financial life on hold.

Unfortunately there is no quick way of erasing or washing away your credit history in Canada. You can however take steps to isolate your credit problems and repair your credit. Bad credit can be compared to a wound and before a wound heals, it first has to stop bleeding.

Consumer Proposal

A consumer proposal is an alternative to bankruptcy available in Canada. It is essentially a negotiated settlement between an insolvent consumer and their creditors.

Just like debt consolidation, a consumer proposal allows a person to consolidate multiple loans into one monthly payment. For many consumers having one monthly payment is easier to manage.

TDSR and Car Loans

Many Canadian consumers fill out a car loan application already knowing the result. Some anticipate rejection or at least a little extra effort before the application is approved. Others predict instant approval. Consumers expecting rejection almost always have bad credit. In addition to self aware bad credit consumers there are also many consumers in Canada that are in ‘bad credit denial’.

A bad credit customer in denial will often change their tune after receiving the bad news and ultimately admit they have credit problems. That is a very common scenario. A not so common scenario is the rejected car application for a consumer with good credit.

There are occasions where someone with strong credit can walk into a car dealership, apply for a car loan and still be denied. Although it surprises both the consumer and the car dealer, it is actually quite common. This often shocking result is caused by a lack of affordability and sometimes referred to as the Debt Service Decline.
