Looks like Black Horse and LEVC are offering an almost automatic three month payment holiday on the TX, but you have to formally apply for it:

https://www.levc.com/finance/payment-holiday/Of course, doubt if many readers on here are running the LEVC TX, but Black Horse seem to be offering similar payment holidays on all their products, and I suspect they'll be quite accomodating, as presumably other finance providers will be. There's a shedload of information for Black Horse customers available here:
https://www.blackhorse.co.uk/contact/Money-WorriesI think Black Horse offers payment holidays at any time depending on the circumstances, if I remember correctly - never had to take advantage, but I seem to recall reading that in the paperwork when I bought my car through Black Horse.
But I'd imagine a payment holiday will be pretty easy to obtain in the current circumstances - suspect the finance providers will view that as a better option than mass defaults, or whatever.
