What Counts as "Bad Credit" in Australia?

Credit scores in Australia are generally reported on a sliding scale, from poor through to excellent, depending on the credit bureau. If your score sits toward the lower end often because of missed payments, defaults, or a limited credit history mainstream banks may decline your application outright. That's usually where specialist lenders like Cash Direct come in: we can look at your recent bank statements, income, and spending habits to assess whether a loan is likely to be affordable for you, rather than relying on the score in isolation. Every application is still assessed individually, and approval is never guaranteed.

How a Bad Credit Car Loan Works, Step by Step

• 01 — Set a Budget for Your Vehicle: Work out roughly what you can comfortably afford to repay each week or fortnight before you start shopping.

• 02 — Get Pre-Approval from Cash Direct: Submit your details online. If pre-approved, you'll have a clearer idea of your borrowing power before you commit to a car.

• 03 — Shop Around and Negotiate: With pre-approval in hand, you may be in a stronger position to negotiate on price, since you're not relying on dealership finance alone.
  

• 04 — Provide Vehicle and Seller Details: Send through the details of the car and seller so we can finalise your loan.

• 05 — Get Your New Car: Once everything's confirmed and funds are released, you're on the road.
