    Hiya lisa, good luck with the car, they wanted my old banger and I ended up having to buy it back off the OR, managed to haggle to £20, i think its just luck with them but they do look at everyones circumstances. I went BR for £5000 in march because I just couldn't cope with the stress of debt collectors after I ended up in debt after a divorce and ended up on benefits with 2 children to care for. I know going BR isn't great but it was the best thing I could have done. I'm now discharged and moving on with my life so good luck with everything : )

    If your Dad bought the car using Paypal, he can get a receipt from his account with them. :o
