How to Fix Your Credit and Get Back on Track in Perth

Having bad credit doesn’t mean the game is over. Life throws curveballs — missed bills, rough patches, or even doing time inside Hakea or Bandyup. When you come out, your credit score might be in ruins, and every door feels slammed shut.

We get it. We don’t judge. Everyone deserves a second chance. The truth? Bad credit isn’t permanent. You can rebuild — step by step — and we’ve watched hundreds of everyday Aussies do exactly that.

At Carmart Perth, we’ve seen people go from being rejected everywhere to driving away in the car they thought they’d never get. Every comeback story starts the same way: face where you’re at, take control, and make small moves forward.

5 Simple Ways to Start Rebuilding Your Credit

1. Pay bills on time — always.
Even being a couple of days late chips away at your score. Set up auto-payments so you never miss.

2. Clear small debts first.
Easy wins build momentum. Each cleared debt is a green tick on your credit history.

3. Add a little extra when you can.
Even $10 more on a repayment shows consistency, discipline, and commitment.

4. Keep a small buffer in your account.
Running on empty makes banks nervous. Leaving a little in the tank signals stability.

5. Stop applying everywhere.
Every knock-back leaves a mark. Focus on rebuilding first — then apply with a lender who specialises in helping people with bad credit in Perth. Like us.
