Car Loan with Bad Rating and being in Debt Management

Can anyone help? I have, since being made redundant in the Middle East after only 9 months been forced to go into Debt Management. My other half has just got a job and desperately needs a car, but no-one will touch us/me. Has anyone got any help/advice as to firms that may be able to assist. I have a good salary so can afford to cover any loan. Thanking anyone in anticipation.

    Its usually a condition of a debt management plan that you don't take on anymore debt until your existing debts are repaid.

    Is it just you in a DMP or OH as well?
    If you could afford loan repayments each month could you not save up that money for a couple of months and use it to buy a cheap old runaround?

    It is confusing, why are you in a DMP if you can afford any loan with a good salary?
