Hire Purchase (Bad Credit)

Bad credit?
Hire purchase is usually the route that lands.

Because HP is secured against the car itself, lenders are typically more relaxed about credit history than on unsecured lending or PCP. It's often the most realistic starting point when your file isn't clean.

Why choose us

Security works in your favour here

🔍

A broad panel

We work with a broad panel of lenders rather than a single provider, so your details reach the ones most likely to consider you.

📋

The car is the collateral

If payments stopped, the lender has the vehicle to recover — that security is why HP lenders will consider adverse credit that other products would decline outright.

Fast decisions

Most enquiries get a response within 2 hours. No waiting days to find out if you qualify.

🛡️

No hard credit check

Your initial enquiry uses a soft search only. Your credit score won't be affected until you say yes.

Common Questions

Hire purchase with bad credit, answered

The agreement is secured against the car, so the lender's risk is lower than with unsecured lending — they have an asset to recover if payments stop. That security is why HP is so often the product that works when credit history is the obstacle.
Not always required, but it helps considerably. A deposit reduces the lender's exposure and can turn a marginal application into an approval, as well as improving the rate you're offered.
Defaults, CCJs, missed payments and thin credit files are all commonly financed through HP, provided current income comfortably covers the payment. Recent, unresolved issues are harder than historic, settled ones — but rarely a hard no on their own.
Yes, realistically — the lender is pricing the extra risk into the APR. What we do is match you to the lender most likely to approve you at the fairest rate for your specific file, rather than a blanket application.
Yes, the statutory right to settle early with an interest rebate applies regardless of your credit history when you took out the agreement.
