Dear Terry,
In an earlier piece, you advised rebuilding your credit by getting a high-interest credit card. I have an auto
loan that I was able to keep despite my bankruptcy. Does this qualify as credit rebuilding?
Also, I checked my credit score recently and it is 580. Could this score possibly get me an auto
lease or is it too low?
-- Sherri
Dear Sherri,
Making payments on a current auto loan will help your credit in the long run, but you can't expect your credit
score to rebound quickly. And I'm sorry to say that a 580 score probably won't get you a lease or even a conventional
loan that doesn't carry a painfully high interest rate.
My advice is to keep the vehicle you've got until it's paid off, which will help your score.
