I Need a Car but I Have Bad Credit - Get Approved with Caring Dealers Now

No. When you submit the form on this page, we collect basic contact information only - no Social Insurance Number, no credit pull. A hard inquiry on your credit bureau (Equifax Canada or TransUnion) only happens later, after a dealership presents you with a specific vehicle and loan offer you actually want to move forward with.

There isn't really a cutoff. Our dealer partners work with subprime auto lenders who specifically underwrite people with credit scores under 500, active bankruptcies, consumer proposals, collections, and repossessions. Every lender has different criteria - a rejection from one doesn't mean a rejection from all of them. That's why we match you with a dealer who has the right lender network for your situation.

Most applicants hear from a matched dealership within a few hours during business hours. From there, the dealer reviews your situation, finds lender options, and presents a vehicle and loan package - typically within 24 to 48 hours. Timelines vary depending on your credit profile and the dealership's current inventory.

Not always. Some of our dealer partners offer $0 down options even for applicants with bad credit. A down payment can help you get a better rate or lower monthly payments, but it's not always required. Your dealership financing specialist will walk you through what makes sense for your budget.

When you walk into a random dealership with bad credit, you're hoping they have lenders who work with your situation. We take the guesswork out - we match you with a dealership whose lender network is built for bad credit applicants. It's the difference between applying blind and getting a warm introduction to the right people.

Our dealership partners carry used and certified pre-owned inventory from Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru, and other major manufacturers. You'll work directly with the dealership to pick a vehicle that fits your needs and loan terms. Cars with Chloe does not sell vehicles - we connect you with dealers who do.

To get started here, just your name, email, phone number, and some background information. Once a dealership reaches out, they'll typically ask for proof of income (recent pay stubs or an employment letter), valid driver's licence, and proof of address. No SIN is needed at any point in our process.
