Hi,

I am currently in an IVA and have been offered a job which comes with a car allowance. Is there any way of me getting finance for a car or a lease agreement in order to be able to take this job?

Many thanks G

    You'll have to discuss it with your IP.

    If it is in the best interests of your creditors, I.e. your new job means they receive more, then it is possible.

    Finding a company who isn't going to charge the earth is a different matter.

    While quality of car could be an issue with your employer, you could buy a modest £500 affair after a couple of months of receipt of allowance and use the additional income to pay off your creditors faster.

    Or is there the option of a company car?
