What can slow down your car loan application?

•    Incorrect documentation: If there is any incorrect documentation or incomplete documents, it will create delay and confusion amongst the lenders. At the time of verification and documentation check, the lender will cross check every possible detail that is required for creditworthiness. For example, if you don’t submit proof of income or resistance or in case there is any incorrect information or errors, the lender will hold up your loan application which will result in delay in the loan approval.  
•    Timing: There are times when you might be unaware about the timing when you apply for a loan. In case you apply at the end of the day or before any public holiday or bank or lender holiday, your loan application will be proceeded further in the next working day. To avoid any delay or slowing down of your application, you should ensure that you apply on  working days. 
•    Inadequate information about the vehicle: There are certain lenders who have different criteria for a  used car i.e., mileage for limitation, car model and loan amount. The dealer sends the information about the car to the lender. The next step is that the lender cross verifies the information and move to further process.  
•    Background check or verification: Before applying for loan, you must also check all your documents and the other eligibility criteria. As when you apply for loan, the lender checks your background, and a proper verification is done to check if there is any chance of default. If they find  any inconsistence, there are chances that there might be delay in the loan approval.
