I am wondering how difficult it is to get a car loan if you work as an IC. sm - Curious


Posted: Mar 02, 2013

I have looked online a bit and the applications usually say something about submitting 2 pay stubs. Since I am an IC, I do not get a pay stub, and a couple of articles I have read said it is more difficult to get a loan when you are an independent contractor, particularly if your credit score is not outstanding. Has anyone had any experience with this and/or have any tips? TIA.

I simply took in my previous 2 years of tax returns - anon

as that gave them a better average idea of how much I made and I got the loan no problem

They may want to see 2 months worth of - bank statements as well

The tax returns are always necessary as an IC but I have also been asked for bank statements as well as a backup.

I would think as long as your income is stable - sm - INKMT

there should be no issue. I just got a personal loan (unsecured) for $15K to finish paying off cc debt. I had to give my last two years tax returns, and I also included paystubs from a third job I was doing at that time that brought me in an extra $400-$800 a month. They had no problem giving me the loan. So now cards are paid off (one was killing me with $200 a month in interest and refused to work with me, A-holes), I am paying a lot less interest and just that debt now, nice feeling. But if I could get a loan for that much on $25-$33K a year I am sure you can get a car loan.

Anyone Else's Job Getting More Difficult
May 27, 2015

My account went to Epic, not the first time I've lost an account to Epic, so I should be used to this by now.  All these little partial dictations of a couple lines or less makes it extremely hard to get a decent line count/make money (!). That, in addition to no punctuation and apparently the speech rec engine has to start "learning" the dictators all over again.  It's just horrible.  Words of support or encouragement desperately needed. ...

Difficult Dictators
Oct 26, 2014

As above, I hope in the future this particular issue could be addressed.  This problem is already escalating (at least from where I am now).  This was made even worse by the advent of the SR system.  So, probably some form of counseling or even penalty (major or minor) can be imposed on the dictator if he/she fails to comply.  Coz the way I see it producing a good or even the best transcript is not just the MT's responsibility, but also the dictator's.  I hope these dictators do e ...
