Batman asked: A couple years ago I had a personal loan go to collections. A relatively small amount $4000. I’ve been trying to work with the collection company to pay of the debt, but they’re basically saying I have to pay them a lump sum or go to court, and I can only afford to make smaller monthly payments, so this has just been sitting out their killing my credit rating for a few years.
I make decent money so i’m sure i can get the thing payed off, but it will take a few years with all the other bills i have to pay on top of it.
Unfortunately though my car is breaking down on me, and I really have no choice, but to get another one.
I’m going to have to find someone who will give me an auto loan to do that though and with my credit in the shape it’s in i don’t know what my options are. Any suggestions on how to get a decent deal on an auto loan when your credit isn’t very good. I’m sure i can find one, but it’ll probably be for an outragous interest rate.
