    Car finance - bad credit - father as guarantor

    Hello, this is my first post! :-)

    Please can you advise me, I am looking to finance a car with my dad acting as guarantor on the finance. I have called a garage today and apparently this is not as easy as I thought it would be.

    Has anyone got any advise? My credit is poor but my dads is great.

    Do I have a chance getting finance through the garage, or do I do something independently?

    Are there any penalties for getting finance which is guaranteed?

    Any suggestions/ideas welcome

    Thanks for your help

    Lisa

    Lisa - Are there any penalties for getting finance which is guaranteed?

    Lisa - No such thing exists. What they should state is the truth........ finance is obtainable, but at extremely high or extortianate APR%'s for people who otherwise have adverse, or little credit history - (ironically that is the penalty).

    Sometimes things are just not meant to be.!
