Why have I not received my code?

There may be a number of reasons why you have not received your code: Incorrect information on your agreement such as mobile number or email address. You have not made a full contractual payment for the month. You may be somewhere with limited signal so there has been trouble with this getting sent to you.

Why have I received a letter of default when I have a payment plan in place?

The reason for this is because when the account falls into arrears a default notice letter will automatically get sent out to you from our arrears list. If you have set up a payment plan with us you will still receive this letter as it is a legal requirement.

Can I withdraw from the finance agreement?

You can withdraw from our credit agreement anytime within 14 days, starting the day after you receive a signed copy of your Hire Purchase Agreement. You do not need to provide us with a reason for doing so. You must give us notice, either in writing or verbally, and repay the outstanding balance owed within 30 days of giving notice. The 30 days starts the day after you give us notice. Failure to pay the funds with 30 days will mean you can no longer withdraw from the agreement, however you will still be eligible to repay your loan early which will save you money. Please note that you are only able to withdraw from the finance agreement, and will need to find the funds necessary to purchase your car via another method.

Can I return the car if I withdraw from my finance agreement?

No, the right to withdraw from your finance agreement does not mean you can return the car to us. Please remember that the decision to buy your car from an approved dealer and the decision to finance your car purchase with us are two separate decisions to two different firms.

When can I change my car on finance?

Usually, it is around the time you are two thirds of the way through your agreement but sometimes it can be before this. It is dependent on the value of your vehicle and the outstanding balance on your agreement. For more information on this visit https://gocarcredit.co.uk/existing-customers/renew-with-us/

What happens if my car is written off?

If your vehicle is a write off, your insurance company would either clear the outstanding finance amount in full or partially depending on the value of the vehicle at the time of write off.

If there is a difference in the outstanding balance and the amount the insurance company are providing for the vehicle, then you would be liable for the outstanding amount. This can be paid with an affordable payment plan.

Some people take out Gap Insurance as this can cover the difference between the amount you paid for your car, or owe on your car if you have finance, and the amount an insurance company would give you if it was written off or stolen.
