Hi Morgan,
Thanks for reaching out to Finder.
If you are pertaining to applying for an unsecured personal loan with Community First Credit Union, one of their eligibility requirements is for you to have a good credit rating so you will most likely not qualify for a loan application with them.
Instead, you can compare lenders that offer personal loans to bad credit borrowers.
If you want to consider applying for a secured personal loan in which your mother can be the guarantor, you can use our comparison table to help you find the lender that suits you.
Before applying, please make sure that you meet the lender’s eligibility criteria and read through the loan terms and conditions to see which option best suits your needs.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Charisse

Hello Jules,
Thank you for your inquiry.
You can check our used car loans page for a list of lenders that may consider you and your son a loan. It is worth noting that they have a varying maximum age of cars to cater, so it important to read the column for “Maximum age of car”.
Credit application would depend on the lender’s requirements. Should regular application won’t be insufficient, you may consider secured car loans as an alternative.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan
