Life happens. A job loss, a medical emergency, or a divorce can wreck your finances in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, when you try to get back on your feet, you often find that the very tool you need to get to work—a reliable car—is the hardest thing to get.
If you have a repossession on your record or a credit score that has seen better days, you might think your only option is a "clunker" from a private seller or an unreliable car lot.
At Joe Cooper Easy Credit Auto in Midwest City, we challenge that narrative. We believe that a past repossession shouldn't sentence you to a future of walking.
Here is how we help drivers in Midwest City, Del City, and Oklahoma City get approved today, regardless of their credit history.
The "Repo" Roadblock (And How We Remove It)
If you have applied for a car loan at a traditional bank or big-box dealership recently, you likely hit a wall. Most traditional lenders have an automatic "fail" trigger for applicants with a repossession on their file. They view it as the ultimate risk.
We don't.
At Joe Cooper Easy Credit Auto, we operate on a "We Say Yes" philosophy. philosophy. Because we are the bank (Buy Here, Pay Here), we don't have to follow the rigid rules of national lenders.
We understand that a repossession is often a result of a specific, temporary hardship—not a permanent character flaw.
How to Get Approved with a Repossession
Getting approved with us is straightforward, even with a bumpy credit history. We strip away the red tape and focus on what matters: Your Job Is Your Credit.
Here is what we look at:
Stability
Do you have a job and a steady income right now?
Residence
Do you live in our service area (Midwest City, OKC, etc.)?
Commitment
Can you provide a down payment?
If you can answer "yes" to those questions, we can likely get you approved, regardless of a past repossession.
