A guide to car insurance for those who have been declared bankrupt
When you apply for car insurance online, insurance providers will take into account factors such as your age, the value of your vehicle and the level of cover you need when providing you with a quote. If you have been declared bankrupt, you will be considered higher risk and this will be reflected the price. Bankruptcy will usually stay on your credit report for 10 years, so even if you don’t declare it, insurance providers will know.
Other financial issues that can affect the price of car insurance
- Individual Voluntary Agreements (IVA) – IVAs are a way to ensure you only pay creditors what you can afford to pay, after your living expenses. It also ensures you can’t be charged any additional fees or interest for the duration of the agreement. Unfortunately IVAs do impact your credit score negatively and this means you can expect to pay a higher rate for car insurance
- Debt Relief Orders (DRO) – Debt Relief Orders allow you to have your debt written off completely. They are only eligible for people with less than £15,000 total debt and few assets. As you would imagine, DROs also affect your credit score in a negative way
Why does Bankruptcy, IVAs and DROs affect the price of car insurance?
Bankruptcy, IVAs and DROs will affect the price you can expect to pay for car insurance for two main reasons. Firstly, insurance providers will consider you a higher risk when you have these. While you might not be any more likely to make a claim, you will be considered more likely to miss payments and therefore your premium will be higher.
The other reason is that they will affect your credit rating. Just like any other company who you arrange monthly payments with, most insurance providers will do a credit check to see if you’re eligible. While having poor credit might not cause insurance providers to turn you down, it will mean they’ll charge a higher rate for your policy.
Why you need car insurance from a specialist provider
Specialist insurance providers will take a much more personalised approach and look at your unique circumstances before giving a quote.
