Bad credit car finance in London

Bad credit does not stop you from getting car finance. From our experience, many people in London worry about their credit history, but lenders consider more than just a credit score. At Carboom, we specialise in bad credit car finance and help people in different financial situations find a deal that suits them. The more we assist customers, the more we see unique cases—some have been refused elsewhere, while others apply for car finance for the first time.

CCJs (County Court Judgements), IVAs (Individual Voluntary Arrangements), and car finance on benefits do not automatically lead to rejection. Lenders focus on affordability, not just past financial difficulties. Many of our customers with CCJs or IVAs now drive cars they financed through us because they could show stable income and manageable expenses.

Carboom works with dozens of trusted lenders and dealerships across London and the UK. No deposit options and flexible repayments make car finance accessible to more people. Request a quote today and take the next step towards owning your car.

HP & PCP car finance in London

Choosing the right car finance depends on how you want to pay and what you plan to do with the car at the end of the agreement. From our experience, most customers in London pick between Hire Purchase (HP) and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP).

HP finance suits those who want to own the car after making all payments. The cost splits into fixed monthly payments, and after the last payment, the car belongs to you. Many customers prefer HP because it has no mileage limits, and payments stay the same throughout the term.

PCP finance offers lower monthly payments, with a choice at the end of the agreement to return, upgrade, or buy the car by making a final lump sum payment. This option works well for those who like changing cars frequently.

Carboom finds the best HP or PCP finance based on your budget. Get a quote today and explore your options.
