    O.K - I am not an expert like the others but we had someone in a similar position recently and I know they were advised to change things - sorry, can't remember what at this moment in time.
    When the others come back on line later they will advise you I am sure.
    ;) Sorry I can't be of more help - useless sometimes!

    A few questions:

    What is the £55 HP for?

    And as you don't work you may not be able to keep your car, especially as you can't afford to run it as at £120 it's taking up half of your total income.

    Where are you getting the extra £110 per month from?
