If you couldn't justify it and its worth over a grand or two then yes.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

My car had a value of £1500 needed for work as I travel site to site.
I asked if I could keep this car as I had it from new and was reliable.
He did say the reliability is of no concern to the O.R and the value to keep was £1000, but they were very helpful and let me keep my car.
May I suggest you read all the stickies at the top of this board and the I.S website.....the more you understand the procedure the easier it is to plan.0 -

As Luvchocolate says, the OR is not interested in the longer term economics of older cars. The rules say £1000 or less unless there are certain circumstances such as a disability adapted car or the BRs work depends on it such as chauffeurs, adapted work vehicles etc. There is a bit of flexibility around the £1000 mark but to be honest - you are unlikely to be able to keep a car worth £7K.
I have to say my £900 car has been one of the best I've ever had in terms of low maintenance and reliability but I get that I was lucky.0 -

You need to check your HP Agreement, i was with Motonovo and they had a clause where the contact would end due to bankruptcy, i asked them if we could arrange anything but they said its policy and they need to cancel.
With regards to your SOA you cannot budget to pay back your mum as she will be treated as a creditor, you paying her will be seen as a preferential payment.
Also with regards to your life insurance if you currently have one active that will go to the OR in the event of your death, you can buy back the interest of that policy so all depends ho far into the policy you are.
The OR will also ask about how you came up with the budget and potentially justify some costs.
It is a hard process and will test you mentally however people on this board are always happy to help0 -
ye thank for you reply
so if its not in contract wud the op allow it to be kept
and i owe ma mun fair bit of money
a was thinking tryin get more credit and give her some this way.

If its not in contract then it would be classed as an asset and due to its value they may want to take the car and let you get a car for a £1000, however this will come down to the OR and your argument for its need.
you just need to be careful as the OR will look into your finance history, if they suspect you have paid your mum then they do have the right to recover that money.
Aslong as the Rent is consistent with properties in the area you should be fine.
Again it all comes down to your OR.0 -
