No, you cannot take on any new credit while under debt review, including vehicle finance. This is a legal restriction under the NCA designed to prevent you from accumulating more debt.
However, you CAN:
• Save up and buy a car with cash
• Use your emergency savings fund (which you should be building during debt review)
• Purchase a vehicle once you receive your clearance certificate
Some clients prioritize paying off their vehicle finance early within the debt review plan to get a newer vehicle sooner after completion. Speak to your debt counsellor about restructuring options if this is a priority.
