Any questions?
Poor credit history can severely affect your chances of securing any sort of loan/financial service.
Those with a lower credit score are less likely to get competitive rates and may even be refused a loan by some of the lenders. There are, however, ways of getting approved for credit even with a poor credit score, and there are things you can do to improve your score too:
1. Get a Credit Report
A credit report is a good place to start, as it will show you in detail your credit history including your overall score. It will give you an idea of where you’re going wrong and what you can do to improve your chances of getting finance. You can access a copy of your credit report for free from Experian, Equifax or Callcredit.
2. Register on Electoral Roll
If you haven’t already, make sure you register on the electoral roll. Finance companies look at this when they perform credit checks to see if your name and address match up. If you’re registered on the electoral roll, it makes it easier for finance companies to carry out these checks. Being registered won’t transform your credit rating, but it does help and it’s easy to do.
3. Keep up repayments
This may seem obvious, I know but even making sure you pay a phone bill every month or pay off a credit card (if applicable). Small steps are the best ways to gain the trust of the lenders!
4. Keep Applications to a Minimum
The more applications you put in, the more ‘Hard Searches’ will be done on your credit score. If you have a low score and frequently get declined, this can severely affect your score in a negative way. Initially, an eligibility check, or ‘Soft Search’, is a much better idea than a formal application. While it won’t tell you for certain if a finance company will offer you a loan, it will give you a good indication, and it won’t appear on your credit history.

Bad credit is simply when you have a history of not paying bills, or perhaps you have not had time to build up a substantial credit score.
Your credit score consists of five main factors:
- Payment history
- Total amount owed
- Length of credit history
- Types of credit
- New credit
If you have a history of not making payments, building up debt, and making multiple payment commitments you cannot afford then you will be considered higher risk and will have a lower credit score. Even just being under 21 puts you at a disadvantage, as you haven’t had time to build up a decent Credit Score, all of these will therefore mean you are less likely to be accepted by lenders for finance.

A common question we get asked! The answer to this question is yes and it doesn't matter whether you have a car on Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), the process is simple. There are a few steps you will need to take in order to do this:
Get a settlement figure from your current lender. Then, find out the value of your car with any valuation tool. All you will need is your registration. Next, time for a tiny bit of maths, subtract the settlement figure from your car's valuation price. This will equal the amount of equity available in your car. If you have a positive figure, great news! You can use this amount of money as a part exchange for your next car. However, if the figure is negative, you'll need to pay that amount of money on top of your new car's price.

Negative equity is a concept that normally relates to property – falls in house prices can leave owners in a position where they owe more on their mortgage than their home is currently worth. This issue can, for example, present difficulties for anyone who’s thinking about selling a financed car.
When a car slips into negative equity while on finance, it can cause issues. Find out what exactly this means and how to minimize any problems with CarMoney.
You will need a few things to hand when completing an application:
Licence: You will need to at least have a provisional/full UK licence on hand in order to make an application.
Employment status: If you are employed, you will be required to submit payslips from the last 3 months (sometimes more depending on the lender).
Residency: You will need to have proof of address, some kind of utility bill, or a formal document that has your name and address on it. Make sure you send the entire doc, not just the address.
Passport: You will need a form of photo ID that isn’t a driver's licence, usually a passport.
