Dro

A few years ago I had to take out a DRO. I'm now working full time and learning to drive. When I pass my test I'd like to buy a car, are there any places I can go with this DRO having over me to to get finance? Any help appreciated.

    Hi Sarah


    You might get more of a response by posting your query on the Loans board, as your question is more to do with that than with DROs.


    More generally, though, it may be worth thinking in cheap second-hand terms, rather than long-term finance, for your first car. Your insurance premiums are likely to be hefty as a new driver, making any monthly finance payments that much harder to afford.


    Good luck with your lessons :-)
