In today’s world of bank failures, government bailouts, and the subprime mortgage meltdown, many used car dealerships have either cut back on car loan financing or discontinued lending altogether.

When a finance company turns you down because you have no credit history, it’s just another example of a lender who only looks at you as a number, not a person. Regardless of your situation, you can be lumped into the same category as someone who has bad credit. At Mac James Motors we treat you like a person, not a number. Having no credit doesn’t mean you’re a bad credit risk.
We love working with first-time buyers and “no credit” customers, as they have a clean slate. We can help you establish a good credit score with a loan designed to fit your budget and keep payments manageable. Our program is designed to help customers who have no credit build and establish credit as quickly as possible.
We start with our own internal credit rating system that emphasizes your current situation and future potential. We then factor in 12 key areas relating to your job, income and residence that allow us to make an informed decision. Finally, we report your good payment history to Canadian credit bureaus, which is the quickest way to establish a good credit rating.
You have a good job, stable residence and can afford to make payments, but you still get turned down for financing.
Your bank says as soon as you rebuild your credit, they’ll approve you for a car loan. But how can you rebuild your credit if no one will lend you money?
Mac James will approve you even if the banks have turned you down. No matter how bad you think your credit is, we can help. Bankruptcies, repossessions, foreclosures, R9s, collections, unpaid bills — we look at your future, not your past. We’ve helped thousands of customers re-establish their credit. We report your good payment history to Canadian credit bureaus, which is the quickest way to rebuild your credit.
Our loan terms are short, which allows you to rebuild your credit quickly and save thousands of dollars in interest charges. Longer financing terms benefit the finance company, not the customer. The longer it takes to you pay off your loan, the longer it takes to rebuild your credit, and longer terms mean you pay more in interest. Our shorter terms save you money and help you rebuild your credit faster.
We recognize it’s hard being involved in a bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can result in the loss of your principal means of transportation. Losing your car can have drastic effects on your job and personal life. Without a dependable car, you could lose your job, be forced to move, or lose your sense of independence.
Many customers believe that if you’ve been bankrupt and had a vehicle repossessed, you won’t qualify for a used car loan.
At Mac James, we look at your current situation. Provided you meet our basic loan requirements, you’ll be approved. If you’re working, can afford the monthly payments, have a phone, and can provide a small down payment, you qualify for a loan. Mac
James Motors works closely with each customer to determine the best loan for them, not the best loan for the finance company.
We provide used car loans for customers in all types of credit situations: bankruptcies, bad credit, no credit, slow credit or repossessions. We’ve helped thousands of customers involved in bankruptcy obtain a dependable used vehicle, and helped them rebuild their credit history.
