Real Stories from Real NEPA Drivers

Every day, people walk into our Blakely and Kingston Car-Lotta Credit locations believing their credit struggles will keep them off the road. But their stories often take a hopeful turn—right when they least expect it.

Maria from Scranton: Starting Over After Bankruptcy

After a difficult divorce and a bankruptcy filing, Maria from Scranton felt defeated. She needed a dependable car to get to work and take her kids to school, but every bank told her “not now.”

When she visited Car-Lotta Credit in Blakely, she expected more of the same. Instead, she met with our in-house financing team, who walked her through her options and got her approved the same day. We reported every one of her on-time payments to the major credit bureaus, and within a year, her credit score had climbed more than 100 points.

 

Jamal from Wilkes-Barre: No Credit Is Not a Roadblock

Jamal had never taken out a loan before. With no credit history, traditional lenders treated him like a risk. But he needed reliable transportation for a new job in Wilkes-Barre.

At Car-Lotta Credit’s Kingston location, our team reviewed his income, helped him understand the buying process, and matched him with a car that fit his budget. He enrolled in automatic payments, and after several months of consistent on-time payments—reported directly to the credit bureaus—he finally had a positive credit history.

 

Susan from Blakely: Rebuilding After a Repossession

A past repossession left Susan feeling embarrassed and uncertain about her next steps. She assumed no dealership would look past her history.

But when she visited Car-Lotta Credit, her story unfolded differently. Our in-house financing program allowed her to get approved without judgment. As she made each on-time payment, her credit recovery began. Today, she proudly drives her second Car-Lotta vehicle.
