Question about Ford Credit ,

Does ford credit always check ones general credit file all the time, even after having paid off 2 trucks through ford credit? Or do they just look at the Ford credit file only if one goes to finance through them again. thanks.

Yes. They will give special consideration to folks with some dings and dents on their credit...if they have good paid autos...especially with FMCC.

I had a 2003 Windstar with Ford credit.
Paid it off 3 months early.
Never had a late payment.

Ford Credit wouldnt do my next deal I had to go to the bank and they almost turned me down because ford had!

I dont think Ford even reported to the credit bureau that I paid it off early and was never late.

I tried to get an "08 F250 and use my parents as a cosignor (they've paid off 6 new ones through FMC), they wouldn't even talk to me, I love ford, but FMC sucks, only an opinion.

Ford Motor Credit is not in the business of NOT lending money. If you were turned down for a loan...there was a good reason. Most applications are transmitted electronically and are either approved or rejected by a computer. Real people never see the aps unless they fall within a gray area that requires review. I'm sure the business manager at the dealership did everything he/she could to secure financing for you. After all...no one at the dealership gets paid until you are driving one of their vehicles.

You will get a letter from FMCC...as well as any other bank that turned you down...stating what Credit Bureau they used to make their decision. You can then request a free report from those bureaus. Do that and then you will be able to figure out why you didn't get the loan.
