What Documentation Should You Bring To The Dealership For Financing?

If applying a subprime car loan, the applicant will have to bring a few additional records. This is because a moneylender is incurring a high risk when financing a subprime car loan.

Valid Driver’s License

Verify your license is not expired, revoked, or suspended. Also ensure the address listed on your driver’s license is current and matches your state of residence.

Proof of Insurance

Take care to include the name of your agent and a reliable contact number. Preemptively adding a new car to your policy will not be necessary until approval.

Proof of Residency

A recent bill for utilities, such as water or electric, is sufficient proof so long as your name is listed and matches the address given.

Proof of Employment

For approval, a recent (within 30 days) pay stub stating your year-to-date earnings is sufficient. Self-employed individuals must provide two years of professionally prepared tax returns.

Personal References

Most finance professionals expect six references. A reference means any individual that knows you personally — be it a family member, friend, or work colleague. Your list should include full names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Phone Number Verification

Any phone number provided must be in service and under the applicant’s name. Prepaid cell phone numbers will not be accepted.

Additional Requirements for Special Credit Situations:

  • Individuals trading in a vehicle must provide the title.
  • Individuals who have completed a bankruptcy must provide discharge papers.
  • Individual currently in an open Ch. 13 bankruptcy must provide necessary paperwork after receiving an Authorization to Incur Additional Debt from the court.

Frequently Asked Questions about Credit Relief

Can I get a car loan after bankruptcy?

Yes. Many of our customers have successfully financed a vehicle during or after bankruptcy. Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies are handled differently, and our finance team understands both. If your Chapter 7 has been discharged, you may be eligible to finance right away. If you’re in an active Chapter 13 repayment plan, you may still qualify — but you’ll typically need trustee approval first. We’ll walk you through exactly where you stand.

What do I need to bring if I’ve filed for bankruptcy?

To give yourself the best chance of approval, bring the following:

  • Bankruptcy discharge papers (Official Form 318 for Chapter 7, or proof of Chapter 13 trustee approval)
  • Valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s license or state ID)
  • Proof of income — recent pay stubs (last 30 days), award letters, or tax returns if self-employed
  • Proof of residence — a utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement showing your current address
  • Proof of insurance or ability to obtain it before driving off the lot
  • References — some lenders may request 3–5 personal references with contact information
  • Down payment — even a modest amount can significantly improve your approval odds and your loan terms

How much of a down payment will I need?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but a down payment of 10–20% of the vehicle’s purchase price can make a meaningful difference — lowering your monthly payment and showing lenders you’re committed. If cash is tight, a trade-in can count toward your down payment as well. Talk to our team about what options make sense for you.

Will my interest rate be higher because of my credit history?

It may be, at least initially. Lenders view credit-challenged borrowers as higher risk, and that can be reflected in the rate. The good news is that making consistent, on-time payments on your new auto loan is one of the fastest ways to rebuild your credit — which can open the door to refinancing at a better rate down the road. Our team will be upfront with you about your options so you can make the best decision.

What if I’m in the middle of a Chapter 13 repayment plan?

It’s possible to finance a vehicle while in an active Chapter 13 plan, but there are a few extra steps. You’ll typically need written approval from your bankruptcy trustee before taking on new debt. Once you have that, our finance team can work with lenders experienced in exactly this type of situation. We can help you understand what documentation you’ll need to present.

What if I had a repossession — not a bankruptcy?

A repossession is a serious credit event, but it doesn’t automatically disqualify you from financing. Lenders will look at how much time has passed since the repo, whether there’s an outstanding deficiency balance, and what your income and overall financial picture looks like today. The more time that has passed and the more stable your current situation, the better your chances. We’ll review everything and be honest with you about where you stand.

Can I apply before I come in?

Absolutely. You can complete our secure online credit application in just a few minutes from home. Our finance team will review it and reach out to discuss your options before you ever set foot in the dealership — no pressure, no obligation.
