Please Help: Partner's debt threatens our future

Hi, i could really do with some advice here- my boyfriend is 24 and in quite a bit of debt. He took a £10,000 loan out a few years ago and he currently pays back £180 a month. This won't be paid off for at least 3 years. He also has finance on a car, which is now in negative equity, and pays about £500 a month on it because he has some points on his licence. He earns about £16500 a year but he has practically nothing to live on. He still lives at home with his parents, as do i, but i want to move out and for us to get our own place. I have a clean credit rating and have no debts. What can he do to get rid of his debt quicker? I want to settle down and have a family but can't afford to even live with him until his debts clear. Please help! :confused:
Also, the finance on the car had to be taken out under his mum's name because he was refused credit - thats how bad his situation is! thanks so much.
