My husband's company is trying to force him into having a car allowance. We were both discharged last june. Do u think its likely he would be able to get car finance from anywhere?

while bankruptcy sits on credit files for 6yrs it'll be very difficult to obtain finance most likely ones will be with a sky high APR (car craft etc)Not quite a newbie as you think

Somebody else could take out a lease agreement on a car, then have your husband as a named driver.. Could that work? Would need a ton of trust though. Or buy a reliable old motor on the cheap and pocket the allowance?Bankruptcy and Supporters club... Member 340.

I know my old car wont last much longer and my brother has already agreed to take out a lease agreement for me as long as I can give him 3 months payments in advance plus the deposit. I am saving every penny I can for this (in my lovely Credit Union Account :A) and hoping I can save enough before my dear old banger gives up the ghost.0
