How Does Leasing a Car Work

We aim to make the process of leasing a car or van with us as simple as possible.

We accept applications from people with all types of bad credit, including CCJs, IVAs and bankruptcy, and in debt management plans.

WE DO NOT USE CREDIT SCORING METHODS

Eligibility – Will I Get Accepted?

There are just two things we take into account when assessing a lease application:

  1. Can you afford the payments?
  2. Can we trace you through your address/employment history?

If the answer is yes to both of these questions then you will be accepted.

The rest of this page shows you how our car leasing process works from application to delivery.

We Accept

IVAs

CCJs

Bankruptcy

And All Bad Credit

Five Star Customer Service

“Brilliant! Brilliant service from the start and throughout. This company really values its customers and takes their circumstances into account rather than a computer says no situation. Would fully recommend them.”
Andrew H

“I would recommend CVS to anyone.  From start to finish I felt like I was being fully supported through the process, I have had some issues over the years with illness in my family and as a result my credit rating is less than perfect…. Ben was so supportive and looked at my ability to pay now and in the future as opposed to my previous situation which I must say made me feel a bit more human again!!”
Rob

“I have just completed my 9th year with CVS I.e. 3rd car. The service provided by Graham and Ben has been second to none. The team have accommodated all my specification requests each time I have changed cars. Highly recommended.”
Goodwoodview8
