Cifas cat 6 marker

Hello i have a cifas cat 6 marker i do not want to go into why.
but my car insurance is due soon and this time around i want to pay for the year in one go instead of monthly.
does this mean i will be still able to get insurance as im not wanting the credit to pay monthly or will i not be able to?

    Hate to tell you this but with a cat 6 marker you're unlikely to be able to obtain any financial product from anyone whatsoever.

    Insurers always run a credit report check on renewal or new policy for exactly this reason. This is regardless of whether you pay monthly or not.

    Sadly you suffer the consequences of your previous actions. You have to wait for the CIFAS marker to drop off, if it does at all.
