What will affect your eligibility for car finance on benefits?

Obtaining car finance while on benefits is indeed possible, but there are several crucial factors to consider when assessing your eligibility for this financial opportunity. Moneyrepublic is dedicated to help people to buy a car on benefits, but it's essential to understand the variables that can influence your application:

  • Late Repayments: Falling behind on repayment schedules for other credit agreements can adversely affect your chances of securing car finance. It's imperative to ensure that you get back on track promptly and make timely instalment payments to demonstrate your financial responsibility.
  • Having an IVA (Individual Voluntary Agreement): If you currently have an IVA, we are unable to assist you in securing finance at this time. However, if you've had a previous IVA that has since been settled, rest assured that it will not negatively impact your eligibility for obtaining car finance on benefits with us.
  • Bankruptcy: Individuals who are currently in bankruptcy will not have their car finance applications approved. However, if your bankruptcy status has been discharged, you are welcome to apply for car finance with us.
  • Having a CCJ (County Court Judgment): Possessing an outstanding CCJ does not necessarily disqualify you from applying for car finance with us. Each application will be reviewed individually to assess your specific circumstances and financial situation.
  • Unemployment: We do offer car finance options for the unemployed; however, it's important to note that to be considered, you must receive DLA (Disability Living Allowance) or PIP (Personal Independence Payment).
  • Income: Your income is one of the primary factors that lenders consider when determining your eligibility for car finance. If you are on benefits, it's likely that your income will be lower compared to someone who is employed full-time. This difference in income can affect your ability to qualify for certain types of car finance.
  • Credit Score: Your credit score is another significant factor that can impact your eligibility for car finance. If you have a poor credit score, you may find it more challenging to get approved for car finance, and you may also face the prospect of higher interest rates. It's important to note that Moneyrepublic conducts a "soft" credit check, which does not have any impact on your credit rating, increasing your chances of having your car finance request approved.
  • Employment Status: While being on benefits does not necessarily disqualify you from getting car finance, some lenders may prefer borrowers who are employed full-time or have a stable source of income.
  • Expenses: Our panel of lenders will also consider your expenses when determining your eligibility for car finance. If you have a significant amount of other debts or expenses, this could affect your ability to make your car finance payments.

Moneyrepublic is committed to providing car finance for people on benefits, and we understand that financial situations can vary widely. We encourage you to explore your options and take the first step toward securing the car finance you need. For more information on managing your finances, dealing with debt, or improving your credit rating, we invite you to visit our guides section for valuable insights and tips.

How can I increase my chance of approval for car finance on benefits?

To boost your chances of car finance approval:

  • Join the electoral roll: Registering on the electoral roll can enhance your creditworthiness by verifying your address.
  • Improve your credit score: Work on repairing your credit history by managing existing debts and making payments on time.
  • Joint loan application: Applying for car finance with a co-applicant can increase your chances of approval, as their creditworthiness may strengthen your application.
  • Guarantor car finance: Consider having a guarantor with a strong credit history co-sign your car finance agreement, providing extra security to lenders.
  • Black box car finance: Opting for pay-as-you-go car finance arrangements can be a more flexible and accessible option.
  • Borrow a Smaller Amount: Requesting a smaller loan amount may make your application more manageable and increase the likelihood of approval.
