i have no money to repair my vehicle which recently had 3 major problems one after the other, and need a vehicle for work. i have been in financle trouble anyhow and in an iva, so credit/finance out a no-go to my knowledge, ive tried family etc but no joy. now just feel like a sad case, no money, plenty of work but cant get there to earn payment!

please help, many thanks!

    What about hiring a van, maybe do a deal with a small hire company?.This may give you time to save for a vehicle.

    Just been in the same position, I managed to scrape up a few hundred pounds and have bought a cheap car. It may not last me long but got me out of a hole.
    good luck. I know what you are going through.
