Hi

I am on a TWP too and I recently came in Feb 09. The car dealer asked me for 10% deposit as it will facilitate my application for credit as I bought my car on a 0% 48 months deal. I used my UK credit card to pay for the deposit. He wanted my payslips and my bank details for the monthly payment. Never asked for my SIN number. It took a couple of hours for him to call me to say the loan is approved.

Sorry for the lateness in reply - We applied through Shoppers Drug Mart which deal with MBNA but put in a covering letter with your application with your UK MBNA account number and ask them to contact you. Good Luck

Thanks...rang them in the end yesterday, just waiting for a reply, they said they would call MBNA UK and ask them to do a credit check there and use that as we didnt have a credit rating here, so
