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

Sorry, there's no help I can offer you if your credit is poor. Just hang in there with the loan until you have equity in the vehicle.

Should I use a tax refund to pay down a loan?
Can I escape an upside-down car loan?
