I took out loan on car as I needed it for work. No car no work so I rushed into it took no advice husband was working away so did it alone.
The car loan is still outstanding as I have had trouble paying over the years trouble is the car was not a good one needed to spend to keep on road. Sadly now the engine has gone,car is useless but still have debt what can i do.:mad:

    You still have to repay the loan.
    It's no different to if you had bought it out of savings.

    Was is a Personal Loan or a HP Agreement?
