What is HP Finance?
HP stands for Hire Purchase finance.
This type of finance lets you spread the cost of the vehicle, interest, and the option to purchase fee by paying fixed monthly payments over a period set by yourself (between 12 to 60 months). You do not have to put down a deposit as you can finance the full amount.
Suits you if:
- You want the option to pay a deposit (but you don't have to!)
- You don't want mileage restrictions
- You want to own the vehicle at the end of the agreement
Things to think about:
- Monthly payments will be higher than with other deals such as (PCP)
- You don't own the car (so cannot sell it on) until you have settled the finance.
What is PCP Finance?
PCP finance stands for Personal Contract Purchase finance.
This type of finance lets you spread the cost of your vehicle by paying fixed monthly payments over a period set by yourself (between 36 to 48 months). At the end of the agreement there is a balloon payment. If you wish to own the car, you will need to settle this first. Otherwise you can 'hand it back' to the finance company or part exchange it at a car dealership.
Suits you if:
- You want the option to pay a deposit (but you don't have to!)
- You want lower monthly repayments (in comparison to HP)
- You want more options at the end of your agreement
- You're happy to pay a balloon payment to own the vehicle at the end of your agreement
Things to think about:
- You don't own the vehicle until you have repaid all the payments and the balloon payment at the end of your agreement
- Additional charges may apply if you exceed the annual mileage
What if I have a below average credit rating?
We have specialised in arranging car loans for people with varying credit scores from excellent to below average for a great many years. As such, we have access to specialist lenders and will go out of our way to make sure you get the best deal for your budget.
You may be unsure of your own credit rating, so here is some information to help you understand more.
A below average credit rating can be brought about by a number of things; missed or late payments towards your credit cards or any other loans or finance, arrears, defaults and County Court Judgements (CCJ's) which are the main contributors.
Also, as crazy as it sounds, if you have no history of any previous loans on your credit file this can also have an adverse effect on your credit score. So what do you do if you have a poor credit score and need to get a loan for your next vehicle?
The good news is there are still a number of specialist lenders that offer car loans to people with a poor credit record who also offer very competitive rates.
Poolfoot Motors has operated with these companies for many years, and it is our experience within this sector that puts us best placed to help you secure a car loan for your next vehicle.
