Keep your vehicle | Lower your payments | Access cash

The true value of a car is often only realized when you risk losing it. From getting to work to handling family emergencies, your vehicle is essential.

But when monthly instalments become unmanageable, the threat of repossession can be terrifying.

At Basslows Finance, we offer a lifeline. We help you refinance your car to lower your monthly instalment, clear any arrears, and ensure you stay in the driver’s seat, both literally and financially.

Understanding your options

When vehicle instalments become a burden, many people panic. Here is why we prefer recommending that you refinance your car over other alternatives:
Option 1: Voluntary surrender (the risky route)

You can hand your car back to the bank (Section 127 of the National Credit Act).

  • The Downside: The bank will sell the car at an auction, often for far less than it is worth. You remain liable for the “shortfall” meaning you could end up paying for a car you no longer own.
Option 2: Court order (the legal route)

The credit provider may serve a summons to repossess the vehicle.

  • The Downside: You lose the car, and if the auction price doesn’t cover your debt, you are still responsible for the balance.
Option 3: The Basslows solution (the safe route)

We settle your outstanding arrears directly with the bank. We negotiate on your behalf to stop repossession proceedings and restructure your debt into a new, affordable monthly payment.
