What will affect your eligibility for car finance on benefits?

Obtaining car finance while on benefits is possible, but several crucial factors can influence your eligibility. At Moneyrepublic, we are dedicated to helping you buy a car on benefits. Here are the key variables to consider:

  • Late Repayments: Falling behind on repayments for other credit agreements can affect your chances. Ensure you make timely payments to demonstrate financial responsibility.
  • Having an IVA (Individual Voluntary Agreement): If you currently have an IVA, we cannot assist you. However, if you've settled a previous IVA, it won't impact your eligibility.
  • Bankruptcy: Current bankruptcies will not be approved. If your bankruptcy has been discharged, you can apply.
  • Having a CCJ (County Court Judgment): An outstanding CCJ does not necessarily disqualify you. Each application is reviewed individually.
  • Unemployment: We offer options for the unemployed, but you must receive DLA (Disability Living Allowance) or PIP (Personal Independence Payment).
  • Income: Your income is a primary factor. Lower income from benefits may affect your ability to qualify for certain types of car finance.
  • Credit Score: A poor credit score can make approval challenging and may lead to higher interest rates. Moneyrepublic conducts a "soft" credit check, which doesn't impact your credit rating.
  • Employment Status: While benefits don't disqualify you, some lenders may prefer stable income from full-time employment.
  • Expenses: Lenders consider your expenses. Significant debts or expenses can affect your ability to make car finance payments.
  • 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.

Moneyrepublic is committed to providing car finance for people on benefits. We understand financial situations vary. Explore your options and take the first step toward securing the car finance you need.
