Why Are Your Car Finance Payments So High?

There are several reasons your monthly car finance payments might feel unmanageable. Perhaps interest rates have dropped since you took out your original agreement, or your financial circumstances have changed. You may have been offered a high APR due to your credit history at the time, or the finance term might have been shorter than ideal.

Whatever the reason, you don't have to simply accept payments that stretch your budget too thin. Refinancing your car finance is a legitimate and increasingly popular way to regain control of your monthly outgoings.

How Can Happy Motor Finance Help?

As an experienced car finance broker, Happy Motor Finance works with a wide panel of lenders across the UK. We can search for a new finance deal on your behalf that offers a lower monthly payment than your current agreement.

Here's how the process typically works:

  • Step 1: You get in touch with us and share some basic details about your current finance deal and circumstances.
  • Step 2: We search our panel of lenders to find deals that could reduce your monthly payment.
  • Step 3: We present you with your options, clearly explaining the terms, total cost, and any fees involved.
  • Step 4: If you're happy to proceed, we handle the paperwork and liaise with your new lender.

It's important to note that while extending the term of your finance can lower monthly payments, it may increase the total amount you repay. We'll always be upfront about this so you can make an informed decision.

Things to Consider Before Refinancing

Before refinancing your car finance, there are a few things worth considering:

  • Early settlement fees: Your current lender may charge a fee for settling your agreement early. We can help you find out what this would be.
  • Total cost of finance: A lower monthly payment over a longer term can mean you pay more overall. We'll always show you the full picture.
  • Your credit score: If your credit score has improved since your original agreement, you may qualify for a better rate.
  • Negative equity: If your car is worth less than the outstanding finance, this can affect your options. We have experience helping customers in this situation too.

Our team will talk you through all of these factors and ensure you understand your options before making any commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

When we search for deals on your behalf, we use a soft credit check initially, which doesn't affect your credit score. A full credit check is only carried out if you decide to proceed with a new agreement. Settling your existing finance and taking out a new agreement will appear on your credit file, but this isn't necessarily negative.
Yes, it may still be possible. We work with lenders who specialise in helping customers with less-than-perfect credit histories. While the rates available may be higher than those for customers with excellent credit, we'll always aim to find you the best deal we can.
This depends on several factors, including your current interest rate, the remaining balance on your finance, and the new deal we're able to find. Some customers save over £100 per month, though savings vary from person to person. The best way to find out is to get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.
Happy Motor Finance may receive a commission from the lender if you take out a new finance agreement through us. We'll always be transparent about any fees or commissions before you commit to anything.
In many cases, we can provide you with options within 24 hours. The full process, including settling your existing finance and setting up a new agreement, typically takes between one and two weeks, though this can vary depending on the lenders involved.
