What Documents Do I Need to Get Approved for a BHPH Loan?

Not Sure What to Bring to Get Approved for a Car With Bad Credit?

At MEI Auto Finance, we understand that a credit score doesn’t define your ability to own a reliable vehicle. That’s why our Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) program focuses on your current financial situation, income, and stability—not just your credit history.

To help you get on the road faster, bringing the right documents is key.

Required Documents for BHPH Loan Approval

Bring the following when visiting MEI Auto Finance:

  • Valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license)
  • Proof of income (2 recent pay stubs or last 2–3 bank statements)
  • Proof of residence (utility bill, lease, or government mail)
  • Down payment (cash, debit, or cashier’s check – varies by vehicle)
  • List of references (optional but may assist with processing)

Optional Documents That Can Help Your Application

Bringing these additional items isn’t required—but they can help:

  • Insurance information (if already covered)
  • Trade-in vehicle title or payoff statement
  • Bank statements or 1099s (for self-employed applicants)
  • Recent utility bill (especially if you recently moved)

💡 Pro Tip: Keep everything organized in a folder or envelope for faster processing.

What If I Don’t Have All These Documents?

No worries. Life happens—and MEI Auto Finance works with customers in a variety of situations. If you’re missing something:

  • We may suggest alternative documents (like a lease instead of a utility bill)
  • If your Texas ID is expired, we’ll help you reschedule or prepare next steps
  • We’ll walk you through everything—just ask!
