Hi

I'm currently on a DMP with CCCS. We live out in the country and really need a new car to get to work etc. (no public transport).

Does anyone have any good advice on how we can get a new car.

Thanks

    Depending how much your DMP is you could try and get them to lower the payments for a couple of months to free up a few hundred to get a car with, but it'd only be if there's really no other option for transport.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I would say this is one of those instances when borrowing from a family member can be a total lifesaver.
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)

    As of the last count I have cleared     [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(
