Posted on June 15, 2022
When it comes to vehicle loan applications, one of the more important aspects (often the first point of interest) is generally the credit score of an individual. Although this score is based on a number of factors and considerations, the number which is used to score this process will ultimately determine the eligibility of the loan application. In addition to determining the overall terms and interest rates applied.
How is the information in my credit report used?
Credit information is generally gathered by credit reporting agencies (often called credit bureaus). The two major credit reporting agencies in Canada are Equifax Canada and the TransUnion of Canada. Governed by provincial and federal laws, credit reporting agencies store and maintain credit information about individual Canadian consumers for use by members of the credit reporting agency. Members include banks, finance companies, auto leasing companies, credit card companies and retailers.
Credit grantors update individual credit reports regularly by providing information to credit reporting agencies about their customers’ credit and payment activities. This ensures that credit reports remain up-to-date and as complete as possible. Other sources of the information contained in your credit report can include public records from courthouses across the country and collection agencies (source: www.equifax.ca)

- 300+ is generally considered as a ‘poor’ (less favourable) credit score and can often prove difficult (although certainly not impossible) in securing financing.
- 560+ is often classified as a ‘fair’ credit score with generally plenty of opportunity for a favourable finance application.
- 660+ is classed as a ‘good’ credit score and most Canadian’s are are typically within this range.
- 760+ is considered as a ‘very good’ credit score and most financial lenders find this number desirable.
