HP on a DMP

  • About £800, more than the cars worth and I've had a similar quote from another garage.
    I'm just feeling a bit down at the moment so don't want to make any rash decisions about taking out silly credit just to get out of the situation, typical that when you think things are finally sorted something else goes wrong and it always seems to be near Christmas.

    Don't worry hun, it always seems worse at Christmas. I think the best approach is to look at how you are doing all of this for the future, a DMP is a great way of making you realise that you can live within your means and not resort to 'silly credit' to get you out of it..well done you:T
    I think other suggestions of parts and someone who can do the labour very good as well. I would then ask the DMP people to organise some leeway for future car repairs.
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:
