Lousy credit spoils chance to fix loan


 

Dear Terry,
What is the best way to get out from under a upside-down car loan? I also have crappy credit. Can you help?
-- Tom

Will repo surge fuel used car bargains?
How can I fix a co-signing mistake?
Should I use a tax refund to pay down a loan?
Can I escape an upside-down car loan?
