How do I fix bad credit? A Smartway Advisors Question…

Everyone makes mistakes, and unfortunately mistakes like making late payments on credit cards, mortgages, and automobiles will affect you for a while.  The best way to fix bad credit is by making a budget, not over spending, and paying on time – each and every month.  Smartway Advisors works with each and every Trust Funding and Credit Builder client to make a realistic budget and offer suggestions on improving credit scores.  It’s called our Touch Program and for many Smartway clients, in just six months of solid payment history, credit scores begin to improve! For those clients who pay on time for one year – you may qualify for a free credit card. If you need a reliable car, and a loan that is fair and manageable, you really should give us a call at (503) 795-7700.

How do I know my Smartway Advisors car is a good car?

There are so many companies claiming to be helping credit challenged consumers, and we also know it’s not true.  You should not have to pay 30% for a car loan, and then get stuck with a lemon. 

Smartway Advisors not only has the best loan rates out there – 9.99% APR – but we also have one of the most stringent Certified Pre-Owned programs in the area.  We won’t sell a car unless it has passed a 112 point inspection.  Every major component of the car needs to be in excellent condition.  To back this up, we provide you with a 12 month/12,000 mile warrant on all cars sold at Smartway, and if you are not happy, you have a 3 day exchange option.  Be sure to learn more about our Certified Pre-Owned program, call us today at (503) 795-7700.

Can I Qualify for Trust Funding? A Smartway Advisors Question:

Can everyone quality for 9.99% APR financing through Smartway Advisors? The short answer is no. There are some people who have had serious trouble in their lives through fraud or criminal activity.  Trust Funding was developed for people who are hard working, have had some challenges, and are getting back on their feet.  Trust Funding – as the name implies – is about trust and responsibility.  We sincerely believe honest hard working people deserve a break when times get tough.  We call Trust Funding, “good, old fashioned lending,” because that’s how it was done before credit scores ruled the marketplace.  A lender looked at the whole picture, the person, their job, their potential and their lifestyle to make a decision.  We at Smartway Advisors believe this is valid today as it was in yesteryear. 

We encourage you to call us and talk about your situation, we want to help!
