Opened a credit union. It can be harder going in to locations depending on where you are, but they have way more forgiving and they have been better on loans. F@cking WaMu refused to give me a loan, got one from the credit union after I was laid off during the recession because I was good with my credit...and WaMu went under for making bad loans??? If they did not loan to me, and I never miss a payment, then who the f@ck where they lending too?

So I would look in to credit unions a bit more. As a teacher you should have an auto in for many of them, and I also understand they are far better for our country.
