Hi Heidi, I believe it would!

If your financing a car it would not necessarily effect your ability to keep the current HP / lease arrangement but at the point at which you changed vehicle a new credit check would be carried out which would flag up a problem.

Can I ask why you change every 2 years? Are they company cars or personal cars? Do you need a brand new car for business use?

I have proposed IVA's and made a provision to change the vehicle every two years but it is very rare.

It depends on your circumstances, why do you feel you need to change your car ? Is it a requirement of you employment contract of which you get a car allowance for ? Do you travel alot ? If you were not to take a new car would your company not provide one ?

If the car is not really relevant to your job then dont feel you could propose to keep changing it. The creditors would see this is why you should drive a high value car which you plan to change twice in the IVA and they write of debt - technically funding your car for you

Like i said it is not unknown but i would need to know more about your cicumstances.
