Will BHPH financing help my credit?
One of the trade-offs of using a buy here, pay here model of financing is that payments may not be recorded on your credit report. While this may not help your credit profile, it also won’t make things worse. Additionally, if things go really sideways and a repossession is ordered, that also may not show up on a future credit pull. Even though BHPH financing is designed to help people with less-than-perfect credit, it still behooves the customer to clean up their finances as much as possible before visiting a Third Coast Auto Group location. Be sure to dispute any errors on your credit report; get all accounts current and consider saving up for a down payment – even if it might not be required.
