Need to raise £5k - how to be sensible

Hi,
I need to find £5,000 to pay off the outstanding finance on a lease car agreement. I have exhausted the insurance policy route which I had in effect and now need to face up to paying it.
I am beside myself as I do not have the means to pay, like most I guess.
I have thought about keeping the car and finance agreement going but would need to borrow to pay the borrowing which I think is financial suicide.
Sensible answers only please, many thanks. Steve

    I'm not sure i understand the question.

    You have the car on lease? And want to settle the agreement? Or is the final balloon payment due on the car? What do you mean about the insurance policy route?

    Sorry for the questions! Just need to get a few things clear in my head first!
