Hi carol
Is the car on a hire-purchase agreement or an ordinary unsecured loan? If it is on hire-purchase, providing that it is not of excessive value, or the payments are high, it is likely that you will be able to retain the vehicle - but you will need to be able to carry on making the payments. If it is on a loan agreement, then the car is legally owned by you, and again so long as it is not of excessive value, you will very likely be allowed to retain it if you decided to enter into an IVA.
