There are numerous types of car finance that you can apply for, but whether it is PCP, HP or something else you are interested in, you can be sure that a credit check will be involved. The reason why car finance companies will want to find out about your credit situation is so that they can assess whether or not you are likely to repay your loan, and so they will look for evidence of this in your credit report. This article should explain how your chances of being accepted for car finance could be affected by your credit score.

Before you enter into a car finance agreement, it is important to know exactly what you are buying.

Financing a car is an excellent method of payment for many vehicle buyers, allowing them to get behind the wheel of a car they love without having to fork out the full amount all at once.

Here is our A-Z guide to car finance.

Your practical driving exam can only be taken after you have successfully passed your theory test; your driving instructor will usually advise you on when you are ready to book the practical test.

Personal contract purchase (PCP) and hire purchase (HP) are the two most popular agreement types when it comes to buying a vehicle on finance. Both allow you to borrow the entire sum of money necessary to purchase your car, but with HP finance, you will need to pay back the total amount borrowed, whereas with PCP, you will only have to pay for the vehicle’s depreciation. From this, you may think the choice between PCP and HP is an obvious one, but there are advantages and disadvantages to each.

The most frustrating thing that can happen when you apply to buy a car on finance is finding out that you have a bad credit rating. Some finance providers will turn away people with poor credit and those which don’t will charge a much higher rate of interest. For this reason, you should try to keep an eye on your credit score.

Hire Purchase (HP) finance makes paying for a car a lot more manageable, because rather than buying the vehicle upfront for a large sum, you will be able to split the cost into much smaller monthly instalments. Effectively, you will be hiring the car until your contract is over and you have made all of the repayments. After this, the car is yours to keep or sell on.
