How Mis-Sold Car Finance Affects Your Credit Score
Increased Debt
Mis-sold car finance can lead to unmanageable debt levels if the terms were not fully disclosed or the agreement was unsuitable for your financial situation. High debt levels can negatively affect your credit score.
Missed Payments
If the finance agreement was unaffordable from the start, you might struggle to make timely payments. Missed or late payments are reported to credit agencies and can drastically lower your credit score.
Default and Repossession
In severe cases, failure to meet the finance agreement terms can lead to default and potential repossession of the vehicle. Both outcomes severely damage your credit score and remain on your credit report for several years.
Tips for Recovery
Review Your Credit Report
Regularly check your credit report for inaccuracies and ensure all information is correct. This helps you understand your current credit status and address any issues promptly.
Negotiate with Lenders
If you're struggling with repayments, negotiate with your lender for a more manageable payment plan. Many lenders are willing to work with you to avoid defaults.
Seek Professional Help
Consulting with financial advisors or credit counsellors can provide you with strategies to manage and improve your credit score.
Build Positive Credit
Focus on making all future payments on time and reducing overall debt. Positive payment history gradually improves your credit score over time.
