What is bad credit van finance?

Bad credit van finance is when you borrow money to buy a new van and make monthly repayments over an agreed period of time. We offer a Conditional Sale agreement, which means you won’t legally own the van until you make your final repayment.

A poor credit score could be caused by multiple factors, including:

  • Missing payments in the past
  • Having a CCJ (County Court Judgment)
  • Defaulting on loans
  • Declaring bankruptcy
  • Having an IVA

If you have poor credit, you might be worried that this stops you from getting van finance. We specialise in helping those with bad credit get the van finance they need.

Moneybarn were able to finance me for a Transit Custom, which is a van I’ve wanted for a while. They have a real personal touch to the whole process – Warren.

How our van finance with poor credit works

How our van finance with poor credit works

We offer a Conditional Sale agreement for van finance. This means that you will be the registered keeper of the van, having full use and responsibility for maintaining it. Once you make your final repayment, you will become the legal owner.

Some advantages of a Conditional Sale agreement include:

  • You don’t pay a large sum up front or at the end of the agreement like you might with Van Leasing (PCH) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)
  • Payments are fixed for the duration of the agreement
  • You don’t need to pay an ‘option to purchase’ fee to own the van at the end of the agreement

It’s important to remember that everyone’s eligibility for bad credit van finance is different, as well as their repayments and their APR. Also, the amount you would need to pay for a deposit depends on your personal circumstances.

We have over 30 years of experience helping people with bad credit get the vehicle they need. When you’re ready, get a quote and see if we could help you.

To get started, try out our van finance calculator or, if you’re ready, get a quote.

If your credit score is less than perfect you might also want to consider a joint finance application, this is where you apply with another person from your house, usually a partner or family member.

Can I get guaranteed van finance with bad credit?

No, guaranteed van finance is a myth. It doesn’t exist – nor does guaranteed van finance with bad credit. A responsible lender will never be able to guarantee van finance without running the appropriate affordability and credit checks.

You might have seen other lenders discuss this topic. Some might even claim to offer guaranteed van finance themselves. A legitimate lender will never try to sell you guaranteed van finance of any form. Your eligibility will be different from other people because there are lots of different factors involved.

Thankfully, the Consumer Credit (Advertisements) Regulations 2010 protects customers from misleading claims such as ‘guaranteed van finance for bad credit’. If you do see anyone claiming otherwise, you should be careful. Please see our guide that explains why guaranteed finance is a myth.

You may have also seen offers of ‘guaranteed van finance with no credit check’. It’s our duty as a lender to offer customers finance that they can afford. To do this, we use a soft credit check when you apply. This does not impact your credit score. If you’d like to know more about what checks are done when you apply for bad credit van finance, please see our guide on no credit check finance.

What is no credit check van finance?

You might have heard of companies claiming to offer van finance with no credit check. This is another myth.

It’s important to know that responsible lenders will always carry out a credit check on you when you apply. A credit check lets a lender see if you are eligible for van finance and helps them make sure the van finance is affordable for you.

We will only make a soft credit check at the point of application, which won’t affect your credit score. If you’re still unsure, then we have written a guide explaining the two different types of credit check.

Everyone’s eligibility for van finance is different, especially when you are looking for poor credit van finance. A lender might use a soft credit check to look at a number of factors, including:

  • Your identity
  • Your address and how long you have lived there
  • How much credit you currently have
  • If you have missed any payments
