    Personally I would walk, bike or take a bus until I could afford a car rather than borrow. I have learnt my lesson, borrowing is for mortgages only.

    However, good luck whatever you decide. X x X

    I can't see thembeing particularly happy about you spending on a card that you're on a DMP with. That'll be like saying 'I can't pay you back but I'll still take you money, ta.'. Can't see them being best pleased it'd probably have repercusions on your DMP agreement with them.
