 TITLE: Can I Get a Car Loan With a 600 Credit Score? CONTENT: Check Your Credit Report Before Applying for an Auto Loan\n---------------------------------------------------------\nBefore accepting your loan application and setting loan terms, auto lenders will take a close look at your credit report. They'll be on the lookout for red flags such as late payments, high credit card balances, account default, bankruptcy and foreclosure. These warning signs could indicate you'll have problems repaying your loan.\nTo keep such unpleasant surprises from derailing your loan application, it's a good idea to check your credit report a month or two before you apply for an auto loan. Get a free copy of your credit report and review it to make sure all the information is accurate, including your personal data, account information and inquiries into your credit. If you see anything that's incorrect or looks suspicious—for example, if a credit card that you never applied for recently checked your credit report—contact the credit bureau to dispute the information and have it corrected before you apply for your car loan.
