Do you really think it is appropriate to take on a new loan commitment when you are (most likely) paying less than the contracted payments on your other commitments?
Even if there was a lender prepared to advance you the funds, don't you think it is pretty poor form to be thinking of borrowing more money while you still have other unsettled debts?0 -
I didn't ask your opinion I asked if it was possible0

Now, I've answered your question. Your turn to answer mine.
EDIT: OP visited the site 4 hours after this post was made and does not appear to wish to answer the questions put. What a surprise!0 -

would you have any intention to repay this car loan or just throw it in the pile of existing debt you are barley repaying?
Have a little think about it0 -
Taking out extra credit would invalidate any agreement you have with your existing creditors - and would annoy them somewhat. They, in turn will cease to abide by your DMP (seeing as you are the one to have broken the terms of it) and pile on both interest and charges and then (most likely) push to take you to court to reclaim their money.
You are supposed to update your SOA as and when significant changes happen that affect your income and/or outgoings. If you now have enough money for a car loan repayment, you should have updated your SOA and increased payments to your existing creditors - you would be quick enough to update it to pay less if your income has decreased!
Oh yeah - seeing as you probably have a credit history full of defaults/arrangement to pay/late payment markers then it's highly unlikely anyone would touch you with a bargepole.My posts are my own opinions based on my experiences and info gathered from sites such as this.

Personally, I've only just stopped laughing at the OP's question.

Secured debts usually are tied to an asset, like your car for a car loan,0
