Auto loan delinquencies rose in the third quarter as banks, finance companies and automakers make more high-risk subprime loans to buyers with checkered credit histories.
Experian, a data analysis company that helps lenders manage risk, issued a report Wednesday showing that the percentage of auto borrowers who are at least 30 days behind rose 3.7% between July and the end of September from the year earlier period.
Those who are 60 days or more behind jumped 8.6% from a year earlier.
Deep subprime loans, which carry even greater risk than subprime loans, accounted for 3.84% of all car loans in the third quarter, up from 3.57% a year earlier.
