GMAC Eases Credit Score Requirements For New Car Buyers
Several weeks ago, we reported about an announcement from GMAC that they would require FICO scores of 700 or better to buy a new car with GMAC financing. Apparently, they’ve changed their minds (thanks to an infusion of cash from the Federal Reserve).
The day after it received a chunk of money from the Federal Reserve (they received $6 billion under the “TARP” program), GMAC took steps to aggressively get buyers back into dealerships.
GMAC said it would begin making loans immediately to borrowers with credit scores of 621 or higher. This is a big change from GMAC’s policy (announced in October) that it would only lend to consumers having FICO scores of 700 or higher. GMAC also announced a new round of low-rate financing, including zero percent interest on some models.
Credit, at least on GM car lots, is starting to ease up.

“The credit repair company you matched me with was amazing. I had a string of inaccurate information hit my credit report that misrepresented my character and borrowing capacity to lenders. My business requires that I have borrowing capacity at all times. Thinking I could save time and money, I tried dealing directly with the vendors that incorrectly reported information to my file. What a mistake! It just wasted time and aggravated me. I called your company and quickly learned that paying the professionals is the best way to go. You did in 10-days what I couldn't do in nearly three months. I cannot thank you enough for what you have done!”Read More
