    Building Your Credit Score Using Your Car Finance Payment Plan

    Having a car finance payment plan in place can be an effective way to build your credit score, but only if you keep up with your repayments and do not breach the terms in your agreement. It shows you are trustworthy to other lenders as you provide evidence you are able to uphold your payment duties. Carry on reading for more details on how you can use your car finance payment plan to build your credit score.

    Your Car Finance Payment Plan

    Your car finance payment plan will be determined by the type of car finance you take. There are a number of different options out there, the most common of which are detailed below.

    Hire Purchase (HP)

    This type of loan secured against your new car, meaning you do not officially own it until the end of your deal. Essentially, you are hiring the car from the lender until the final payment has been made. However, you can request a settlement figure to pay off your outstanding balance at any point during the finance deal.

    Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

    This is very similar to HP, but at the end of the deal you can hand the car back, obtain ownership of it with a balloon payment or use it as equity for a deposit for a new car.

    Personal Contract Hire (PCH)

    With a PCH deal you will never own the car. At the end of the deal, you will hand the car back, often making it a cheaper option when compared to PCP.

    Bad Credit Car Finance

    This option helps people with low or poor credit obtain a car finance deal. It allows you to spread the total amount of buying or leasing car over a fixed period of time with monthly payments. No deposit is required for bad credit car finance, no matter what type of deal you end up with. The application process first begins with a ‘soft’ credit check. This will determine whether or not your lender feels they can find a finance deal for you, without affecting your credit score in any way. 

    Building Your Credit Score

    Your repayment history is used to gauge your creditworthiness and trustworthiness when it comes to making payments to finance providers. Whenever you apply for credit, this will be checked for any evidence to demonstrate you are a dependable customer. If you keep up with your payments on your car finance payment plan, you will steadily build up your credit score.

    If you make a late payment, this can cause a minor negative marker to appear on your credit file. This will not do too much harm as it is one isolated incident. However, more harm will come if you have multiple missed payments or arrears, as it provides the idea that you are not trustworthy with credit. If any of your finance plans default, this will have a significant impact on your credit score. This will make it harder to be accepted for credit when you next apply.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
