just financed a car, now bank is asking for my proof of citizenship or green card.
Hey guys.
I'm a bit on a dilemma. I just financed my first car every through Subaru. I'm currently under DACA and was a bit worried about the process. Everything went smoothly with running my credit. My credit was decent, but apparently, the length of credit is a bit short. Anyways, I was approved, signed the paperwork, went home and 3 hours later, salesman tells me that i need to send them a picture of my green card? At that time I was a bit shocked and scared so I said yes and just hung up. Now I'm working with them, telling them i'm in the process of getting mine, and they ask me if i can send form i551 which i dont have. Just wondering if anyone dealt with this situation before? Last time I tried financing a car the salesman asked me if my social security card have the word only valid for employment on it. I just froze at that point and walked away. I live in cali. Any help would be great. |

You need a cosigner.
The lack of credit history is the issue imo. I went through the same situation when I financed my car. Something showed in the credit report that made the loan officer asked if I had a visa and suggested a lease instead. Unless I had a cosigner which I did. Didn't have the same issue buying a house. I think because I had already established some credit history. Good luck! |

Isn’t there also an indicator for social security numbers generated after 2011

I had no problem financing, I have 4 cars since I buy for my parents.
Just got a 2018 Fiesta St, a rocket. Find another dealer, no need to deal with BS people who don't k ow how to do bussiness. You can also consider getting credit from a credit union, I don't have experience on this as I haven't needed it. Some people can get a better rate and also, you can negotiate a better price for the car since you are handing them a check. Some. Dealerships have their own financing but usually they have super high interest. |

Or you can up your down payment. Had to do that when I got my Mercedez. Eliminated my need for a co-signer etc .

Give them your EAD. If they don't want to finance, then go to a lender. A local credit union would work best. I have gotten rejected from multiple agencies, however I have also bought my car, paid off said car, bought a house on a mortage, got rejected for a refinancing deal, and recently gotten accepted for a second mortage. IF you want to take the easier route, get a cosigner.

Just be truthful, tell them you don't have a green card all you have is your work permit and social. Dealers work with many lenders, they'll make it work and get you financing with a less stricter bank.

So yeah screw that bank, let the seller find another lender or you do some leg work yourself and find your own lender. |

thank you for all the feedback guys. i decided it'll be better for me to go through a credit union. so far school and work has been killing my free time. i gone to one credit union so far with no luck due to the fact that i don't have an account with them. I opened a checking account through them though. For the meantime, i told the dealer that I want to go through financing the car through my own bank and to cancel my contract, now there telling me i have to pay restocking fees and dealer fees totalling up to 1,500 dollars. I really dont know if this is fair.
