I now lease a brand new 40k E class threw my new business��

My main means of transportation is a pushbike but I'll console myself with the knowledge I know the difference between "threw" and "through".

I had to go with moneybarn and there extortionate rates thanks to my ex partners destruction of my credit between 4 and 6 years ago.
I had no problem at all meeting the payments until i lost my job.
Sometimes people have no choice than to use these kind of lenders and getting into financial difficulties can happen to any of us

I agree with Pixie that's you deflecting attention from your own decisions again. You could have bought a much cheaper car instead of spending £19k on a Merc. This is what you were doing when you bought a £9k car at this interest rate. The payments were high and you had an insufficient buffer against being out of work, you didn't even have any credit card you could use to buffer the payments for a few months.

As she said, doesn't help now but may help in future when considering consequences of your actions which you seemingly haven't done yet with your decision to lease a £40k car when you are "struggling" to start up your business.

I have 6 bicycles, different rigs for different gigs. I have a car too - a rusty old supermini which is probably worth less than all but one of the bikes. Being summer, it has been weeks since I used it & I can't actually remember where I parked it. One of the roads near my house probably, but will need to go for a bit of a walk round to find it. This is a lifestyle chosen carefully and deliberately, after being dissatisfied with a previous life in which I had to sit in a car far too often, getting fat.

These days I'm no spring chicken, but am as fit as a butchers dog & the £££ saved make a nice Brucey bonus.

Car loans- be like Zammo - just say no
