To apply for car finance with AutoMoney Trust, you'll usually need documents that help verify your identity, confirm your income and affordability, and validate your address. The exact documents we'll ask for will depend on your individual circumstances, but having the relevant information ready before you start your application can help make the process quicker, smoother and reduce the likelihood of delays.
You may need to provide proof of identity, such as a valid UK driving license or passport, along with proof of income such as recent payslips or bank statements. You may be asked for proof of address dated within the last three months, as well as details of the vehicle you are looking to finance if you have already chosen one.
If you are self-employed and applying for car finance, you may need to provide additional information, such as SA302 forms, tax calculations, or business accounts, to help demonstrate your income and affordability.
The documents required can vary depending on your individual circumstances and application. Providing accurate details and having your documents available in advance can help sped up the car finance application process and reduce the need for additional requests.
Yes, you can apply for car finance with a low credit score. AutoMoney Trust considers applications from customers with lower credit score, and having a low score does not automatically prevent you from being considered for finance. Each application is assessed individually based on your wider financial circumstances and affordability.
We understand that a credit score does not always provide a complete picture of your financial situation. That's why we also consider factors such as affordability, income stability, existing financial commitments and recent credit conduct when reviewing your application.
Having a low credit score does not automatically mean you will be unable to get car finance. However, it may affect the finance options available, including the rate offered or the amount you may be able to borrow.

Yes, you may still be able to get car finance with poor credit. AutoMoney Trust considers your overall financial circumstances and affordability rather than relying on your credit score alone, and specialises in helping customers who have been declined elsewhere, including those with CCJs, missed payments, a limited credit history or a default on their credit file. Having poor credit does not automatically prevent you from being considered for car finance.
Every application is assessed individually, considering factors such as affordability, income stability, employment and existing financial commitments. While poor credit may mean a higher interest rate or a smaller borrowing amount, it does not automatically prevent you from getting car finance.

The main difference is that with Hire Purchase (HP) you own the vehicle at the end of the agreement, whereas Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) includes an optional final balloon payment if you want to keep the car.
With Hire Purchase, you repay the full value of the vehicle through fixed monthly payments and become the owner once all payments and any option to purchase fee have been paid.
With PCP, monthly payments are usually lower because you are paying towards only part of the vehicle's value. At the end of the agreement, you can pay the balloon payment 9also known as a final payment) to keep the vehicle, return it, or choose another available option.
One of the main differences between HP and PCP finance is how ownership and mileage work. PCP agreement often include annual mileage limits and potential charges if the vehicle exceeds the agreed mileage or is returned with damage outside normal wear and tear. Hire purchase does not usually have mileage restrictions, making it a popular option for drivers who want flexibility and the certainty of owning the vehicle at the end of the agreement.
