    So you are in debt, and you want to know how to get in to further debt?

    Am I missing something here?

    You may get more assistance in another board such as the Debt Free Wannabe board?

    They are likely to have dealt with similar situations and may advise on alternative routes if it is not possible.

    2 things spring to mind
    1/ your in debt (like most of us) so leasing a car will add more debt

    2/ the only companys who may touch you will charge a shed load

    better to buy a cheapo banger until your out of debt

    Before anyone agrees to lease you a car they will credit check you - if your history is bad (as it appears) then I guess your options will be small / non existent
