I have been repaying an IVA for the last 2 years.
One of the creditors was a finance company to purchase a car.
My question is - can I part exchange the car for another car?

Hi
If the finance for the car was not a hire purchase agreement then yes you are free to part exchange/sell the car.

Hi Cap,

Just remember that it won't be easy to get any additional finance if you are looking to trade up. However I think there have been posts about a company that does offer leasing to people with an IVA.

Also, if you are considering trading up in any way, the you would be well advised to let your Supervisor know - especialy if there are likely changes to your I&E.

Cheers

Andy

They are providing something for people with poor credit so you have to expect a high APR.

The APR is high - but if you need a car and that is the only place you are able to get one from, then it may be a case of needs must.

Several of our posters have used this firm and have been very happy with them.

The reality is that for getting into debt we cannot control,we must expect to be shafted with high APR for a while.
An alternative after an iva is finished is to get someone else to take the finance and pay them monthly(clearly this must be someone you can trust,and who can trust you).
