FORD says to Disabled who get SSI(Supplemental Security Income), No W-2 form, No car loan, Good thing they don't need any money I guess. That sounds like FORD likes to violate the ADA(Americans with Disabilities Act).

But I have to say, in the most polite manner possible......

That giving loans to those with 'shall we say'....less than the best credit possible.....was what led to the current home loan crisis?

Not that Joker could not meet his loan demands...
Not that many, or most SSI recipients could not...

But isn't that the crux of the matter right now?

Many could not......

Mark--who says people on SSD have bad credit??? I think that's an inappropriate deduction.

Several years back during one of my surgeries I was out of work for almost 1 1/2 years. I was on SSD with a car loan and paid all my bills.

Mark this is about Car Loans and the Disabled, Not Home Loans, So I don't see a connection.

Joker.....
It's all about granting credit....whether it's 100,000 for a home, 20,000 for a car, or just 5,000 on a credit card....

I am not sniping at you, my friend.

So you'd rather deny the person with the GUARANTEED income instead of the person employed with the at-will job - who may easily lose their job and default on the loan. THAT has more to do with the housing issue than disabled people trying to buy a product. Go by the credit score and not the source of income!

I didn't say that they had bad credit.....
I just said that the largest percentage of people who have defaulted on loans, and set the grounds for this current crisis, are those who were granted credit on specious grounds.......because the laws said they should do so....

No...it has more to do with the folks who were led to buy beyond their means....just because they could do it momentarily when the rates were low...and then could not cope when either the rates went up, or they could not keep up with balooning rates because they were granted credit that was just beyond their usual reach........

The thread topic is Ford refusing to sell cars to customers getting SSI/SDI/SSD (whatever you want to call it). While you are trying to draw a correlation between those disabled customers and people with bad credit. Unless you have national statistical data that backs up your words I'd say you should quit while you're behind.

Again, which has what to do with a person being disabled?

My credit score of 554 is tied to My bum left leg, Back in 2002 I busted My leg, The Hospital said sign or We leave You on a gurney until You do, No phone or pain relief and as I was uninsured, disabled and unemployed they wanted Me to pay for It, So I signed as I couldn't move and they wouldn't transfer Me to another Hospital where I had coverage(I wanted to go to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton CA some 40 miles away, Paramedics said No, Said I could go in My brothers pickup as the Nearest Hospital was Desert Valley Hospital in Victorville CA), So My credit was ruined as they stuck Me with a bill for at least $16,000.00 back then that they knew I couldn't pay for, Bastards!

Then you loan it to them.

Isn't it just possible that such people are a worse credit risk in general, one that some lenders aren't willing to loan to?

Since when do you deal in possibilities. Show the statistical data. You'd demand nothing less for yourself.

What are you talking about? Possibilities? Ford is free to loan money (or not) to anyone they decide to, or don't decide to.

That you happen to disagree with their decisions or their experience as lenders is of no concern of theirs. The choice is theirs to loan money or not as they see fit, not as you or Blurf happen to see fit.

I have no idea what the average credit score of people on SSI is or isn't. That Ford chooses to loan to individuals or not based on their own rubric is their own decision.

Not yours.

Not yours either. So stop babbling about wants and don't wants and produce the statistical data.
