Hi Errol,
Thanks for getting in touch with Finder.
I understand the challenges of getting approved for a loan and it is important to know how lenders determine your eligibility.
The Henderson Poverty Index (HPI) is less commonly used and was originally based on a survey of New York families in the 1950s, but has been updated using more recent Australian survey data. The index is calculated based on a family of two adults and two children, and it can be multiplied by a specific fraction to calculate a figure that applies to different family structures.
Knowing where you are in the HPI can be a little complicated. Sometimes a table is used to determine your HPI. With this in mind, it would be a good idea to directly get in touch with Melbourne University as they are primarily the ones who generate the HPI.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Joshua

I have a porr credit rating and am on a pension which is supported by monthly payments from income protection insurance payments and an overseas pension. My income is slightly more than $30000/ year.
I believe I can service a car loan easily with monthly repayments coinciding with my extra payments. Will my application be acceptable from anybody

Hi Kathryn, thanks for your inquiry.
As long as you meet the application requirements you are eligible to apply. Since finder.com.au is a comparison service we are unable to provide advice on whether your application will be accepted. It would be best to contact BankSA on 13 13 7 (24 hours, seven days a week).
Thanks,
