2. Understanding the Rejection or Delay
Definition: Application rejection or delays occur when mandatory compliance criteria set by lenders are not met. According to the Motor Vehicle Loan Guidelines, lenders require accurate identity verification, income proof, and vehicle details to assess risks and eligibility.
Common issues include:
- Missing or incorrect documentation: For example, failing to provide a valid Vehicle Sales Order (VSO).
- Unverified identity: Foreigners or applicants with incomplete Employment Pass records may face rejection.
- Weak credit profile: Lenders may decline applications from individuals with bad credit histories unless a guarantor is provided.
3. Step-by-Step Resolution (Fix Actions)
Phase 1: Immediate Verification
-
Step 1: Check all mandatory documents:
- Ensure MyKad/Passport, Income Proof, and Vehicle Sales Order (VSO) are properly uploaded.
