Car finance
with IVA

Well, Carplus believes that everyone, even with an IVA, should have a chance to drive. We're here to help you get car finance with IVA, so you can hit the road with confidence.

What is an IVA?

An Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) is a formal agreement between you and your creditors, usually facilitated by an insolvency practitioner. It is designed to help individuals in financial difficulty manage their debts and work towards a solution. During an IVA, you agree to make affordable monthly payments, and in return, your creditors agree to freeze interest and charges, as well as write off a portion of your debt at the end of the car finance agreement.

Can I get car finance if I am in an IVA?

Yes, you can still get car finance while you're in an IVA. However, it's important to understand that securing car finance with an IVA may have some unique aspects and challenges compared to traditional car finance.

If mainstream lenders have turned you down for IVA car finance, don't worry. Specialist lenders, like Carplus, are here to help. We understand your situation, particularly if you have a less-than-perfect credit history. We will work with you to create a finance plan that fits your budget, and the interest rate will depend on your credit score.

How to get car finance while on an IVA

When you're looking to apply for car finance during an IVA, the first step is getting approval from your Insolvency Practitioner (IP). They check your income, expenses, and debts to see if you can afford the car payments. Once they say yes, you can start searching for lenders.

Because the IVA shows up on your credit history, some lenders might be cautious. But don't worry, there are experts like Carplus who specialize in helping people with bad credit rating. Getting a new credit agreement, like car finance, might be a bit harder with poor credit history, but it's not impossible. Having an IVA shows lenders that you're serious about sorting out your credit issues. So, even with an IVA, you can get car finance, and we will help.

Car finance options available during IVA

Hire Purchase car finance with IVA

With Hire Purchase, you'll make fixed monthly payments over an agreed-upon loan term, typically between 1 to 5 years. Once the final payment is made, the car becomes yours. The key advantage of hire purchase agreement is that you can obtain car finance even with a less-than-perfect credit score. This makes it a popular choice for those in IVAs. Specialized lenders like Carplus wil help you get HP car finance with IVAs and will guide you through the process, ensuring that you find a suitable solution tailored to your unique situation.

Personal Contract Purchase car finance with IVA

PCP, or Personal Contract Purchase, offers lower monthly payments because it's like leasing the car. At the end of the agreement, you have two options: you can make a final balloon payment to own the car or return it and get a new one. This flexibility makes PCP a great choice for those in IVAs who may want to upgrade their vehicle after the IVA period ends.

However, it's worth noting that PCP car finance providers consider your credit history when approving your finance application. If you have an IVA on your record, it might be a bit challenging to meet their criteria. Waiting until the IVA has been removed is a smart way to improve your chances of securing car finance through PCP.
