CJ Car Finance: Drive Forward Despite Past Financial Challenges

At Autozone, we understand that County Court Judgments (CCJs), arrears, or defaults can make securing car finance seem like an uphill battle. But we're here to tell you that it's not the end of the road. As specialists in helping people with complex financial histories, we're committed to finding solutions that work for you.

Understanding CCJs, Arrears, and Defaults

A County Court Judgment (CCJ) is a type of court order registered against you when you fail to repay money you owe. Arrears refer to payments that are overdue, while defaults occur when you've broken the terms of a credit agreement. These financial issues can significantly impact your credit score and make future borrowing more challenging.

If you're facing financial difficulties, it's crucial to address them proactively. Consider seeking advice from a debt charity or financial advisor. They can help you understand your options and potentially negotiate with creditors.

Can I Get Car Finance with a CCJ?

The short answer is yes, it's possible to get car finance with a CCJ. While a CCJ can make obtaining finance more challenging, it doesn't automatically disqualify you. At Autozone, we support individuals that are looking for used cars while in this situation.

Several factors can affect your eligibility for car finance with a CCJ:

• The age of the CCJ
• Whether the CCJ has been satisfied (paid in full)
• Your current financial situation
• The size of the deposit you can offer
• We also offer alternative financing options, which can be an excellent solution for those with CCJs.

Frequently Asked Questions About CCJ Car Finance

How do CCJs affect my credit score?

A CCJ can significantly impact your credit score, making it more difficult to obtain credit. However, the effect diminishes over time, especially if you take steps to improve your credit rating.

How long does a CCJ stay on my credit file?

In the UK, a CCJ typically remains on your credit file for six years from the date of judgment. If you pay the full amount within one month, you can apply to have it removed from the register.

Can I improve my chances of getting car finance with a CCJ?

Absolutely. Here are some steps you can take:

• Satisfy the CCJ if you haven't already
• Save for a larger deposit
• Improve your credit score by making all payments on time
• Consider a guarantor if possible
• Be honest about your financial situation when applying
