    Garry,

    BR a second time is a very bad idea. You need to tell your creditors what has happened and then get yourself down to citizens advice to get them to help negotiate reduced payments. The car will probably have to go back to the lender.

    Other than that, only advice is to get other jobs as soon as possible and try to get yourself a proper budget sorted out when you do to avoid paying so much of your income in interest to sub-prime lenders.

    Good luck
