Discharged Bankruptcy
If your bankruptcy has been discharged, you're in a strong position. Many of our lenders have programs specifically designed for discharged bankruptcies — often with competitive rates.
Active Bankruptcy
Even if you haven't been discharged yet, some lenders will work with you. Approval depends on your income, time in bankruptcy, and employment stability.
Consumer Proposal
A consumer proposal is not a bankruptcy. Many lenders view it more favorably since you're actively repaying debts. Approval rates are higher than you'd expect.
What Helps Your Approval After Bankruptcy
You don't need perfect everything — but these factors work in your favor:
Stable Income
Full-time, part-time, or self-employed — consistent income matters most.
6+ Months at Job
The longer you’ve been employed, the better your chances.
Down Payment
Even $500 can significantly improve your rate and approval odds.
Time Since Discharge
The more time since discharge, the better your rates. But even same-day is possible.
Post-Bankruptcy Car Loan FAQ
How soon after bankruptcy can I get a car loan?
You can apply immediately — even before discharge. Some lenders will approve you the same day. The key factors are your income, employment stability, and down payment, not just the bankruptcy status.
What interest rate will I get after bankruptcy?
Rates typically range from 9% to 29% depending on your specific situation, income, down payment, and time since discharge. As you rebuild credit with on-time payments, you can refinance at a lower rate in 12-24 months.
Do I need my trustee’s permission?
If you’re in an active bankruptcy or consumer proposal, your trustee may need to approve the financing. If you’ve been discharged, no permission is needed.
Will this help rebuild my credit?
Yes. An auto loan is one of the fastest ways to rebuild credit after bankruptcy. Making your payments on time is reported to the credit bureaus and will steadily improve your score.
What vehicles can I get approved for?
You can finance both new and used vehicles. Most post-bankruptcy loans are for vehicles 1-7 years old. We’ll help you find something that fits your budget and lender requirements.
