Credit Basics
Setting Up Your Credit
When you’re new to borrowing, banks and lenders consider you to be a risk. You need to create a history of paying off loans on time and soon you’ll be eligible to obtain better financing and interest terms and rates. How can you establish credit early on?
Open an account at a local bank
Sign up for a credit card (but make sure you don’t go nuts here)
Once you have an initial credit score, it’s important to build and nurture that credit rating. What are some of the best ways to build up and maintain a favourable credit score?
- Don’t surpass your credit limit
- Pay what you owe on time
- Pay as much back as you can at the due date, at least the minimum monthly amount
- Keep your creditors up to date if you change addresses
- Avoid or delay unnecessary impulse spending to reduce risk
- Negotiate an alternative solution with your creditors should you not be able to repay on time
- Don’t request a credit check too often (this can appear as a red flag for some agencies)
Understanding Credit Reports
Lenders look at your credit report to assess risk. This detailed history of your past lending transactions affects what financing rates and terms you can get because it gives lenders an indication of whether you’ll be able to pay back your loan on time.
Your risk level is summarized on your credit score, which can be made up of several factors, including:
- Payment history
- Type of credit
- Amount of debt
- Length of credit
- New debt
If you have a poor credit rating, it’s not the end of the world. Start rebuilding credit by re-paying your debts consistently and on time, and eventually your credit score will recover with most financial institutions.
How Do You Rebuild Bad Credit?

Subprime Car Financing Options
Do you need a vehicle but have less than stellar credit? Are you leasing or financing a car, but you need to get out of the contract?
No matter what you’re facing, we can help!
Why do we offer sub-prime lending? We know at Metro Ford that the easiest way for you to repair and rebuild your credit rating is to make regular monthly payments on a loan for up to six years. This demonstrates that you are a reliable and less risky debtor. This is about the length of time with good behaviour you need before past infractions are dropped by other lending agencies, restoring your credit rating to a more favourable score.
The mark of a smart and sensible lender is time. Metro Ford has been finding the best lending solutions for our customers for over 50 years now. We want you to be able to have the best car or truck available to you, but we also don’t want to send you home with a heavy ball and chain of a contract weighing you down. Through our history and high-volume transactions with many of the area’s most trusted lending institutions, we are able to keep those rates as affordable as possible.
Our financing process is both quick and easy. Through our sub-prime car financing options, we can help you to get out of an over-daunting car lease and into something a bit more manageable.
So regardless of bruised credit, bad credit, no credit, or bankruptcy – we can help anyone, anywhere. In fact, in the time it took to read this page you could have already filled out our credit application and be on your way to approval in Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, or Burnaby, BC.
