I have an iva now and I want to upgrade my car to a new agreement rather than just take back the current car. I can’t make the balloon payment but have had no defaults on any payments even with my iva, if I go to a garage will they allow upgrade options?

You would need to gain the permission of your IP to take out new lines of credit and even if given, it is unlikely you would easily find a lender at the moment with your iva on your records.
Do you have a family member or friend that is in a position to help you purchase a reliable second hand car for the duration of your iva?
You may need to seek a payment break to gather sufficient money as a deposit for a vehicle.
Sorry probably not the answers you were hoping for, but whilst in the iva it will be difficult to get a new contract.
