IVA car finance

An IVA on your file doesn’t mean you can’t get car finance. It means you need a lender who understands your situation. We’ve helped more than 30,000 people get car finance after credit problems.

Getting used car finance with an IVA

Most lenders look at your credit file and stop there.

An IVA sets off a flag, and your application gets rejected automatically without considering your current financial circumstances.

Having an IVA is a sign you’ve agreed to manage your debt responsibly. And it shouldn’t mean you can’t get a used car on finance.

You still need to get to work. Do the school run. Or drive to care for a family member or someone you’re responsible for. These are situations applicants who come to us commonly find themselves in. And we’re here to help.

    Specialist car finance, even if you've got an active IVA

    Concept Car Credit is a specialist broker working with a panel of nine lenders who regularly consider applications from people in an active IVA or looking for car finance with poor credit history.
    Your insolvency practitioner – the person managing your IVA – needs to confirm your car finance is affordable before we go ahead. But we can walk you through the process and help you every step of the way.
    Once you’re approved you’ll be able to pick your new car from our range of more than 200 serviced vehicles and be ready to drive away, often on the same day.

    How IVA car finance works with us

    • Step 1: Check your eligibility

    Fill in our short online form. We run a soft credit check only. This doesn’t affect your credit score and doesn’t leave a footprint on your file.

    • Step 2: We match you to the right lender

    With nine lenders on our panel you’ll find one that’s best suited to your circumstances. Your IVA status, income and monthly budget are all assessed as part of a bigger picture.

    • Step 3: Your IP confirms your affordability

    Your insolvency practitioner confirms your finance deal is within the terms of your arrangement. This is a standard step. We’ll tell you exactly what to ask for and what to expect.

    • Step 4: Choose your car

    We have over 200 cars available at our Manchester showroom. Every car is inspected by our in-house team before it goes on sale. You can visit, test drive, and drive away the same day.

    • Step 5: Drive away with approval confirmed

    Your finance is fully approved before you drive away so there are no surprises.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I get car finance if I have an active IVA?

    Yes.
    Mainstream lenders are unlikely to approve you, but specialist lenders consider IVA applicants. We have 9 specialist lenders on our panel. We match you to the one most likely to approve your application based on your current situation.

    Will applying for IVA car finance affect my credit score?

    No. We run a soft credit check when you apply.

    This does not appear on your credit file and does not affect your score. A hard check only happens later, with your consent, if you decide to proceed with a finance offer.

    Do I need permission from my insolvency practitioner?

    Yes.

    Your IP needs to confirm that the finance is affordable within the terms of your IVA before we can complete the arrangement. This is a standard step and most IPs are familiar with the process. We will tell you exactly what to ask for.

    How much can I borrow?

    This depends on your income, monthly budget, and your IVA terms.

    We assess affordability carefully and we’re not going to recommend a payment you can’t manage. Your monthly payment is agreed and fixed before you drive away.

    Do I need a deposit?

    No deposit is required.

    We have 0% deposit options available. Confirm with us at the point of application as this may depend on the lender and vehicle.

    What types of finance are available?

    We offer personal contract purchase (PCP). Our team will explain how this works when you apply.

    What if my budget changes during the agreement?

    Talk to us. We can adjust your repayments if your financial situation changes. We have been doing this for over 20 years and we understand that life does not stay fixed.
