  • So you spent it all in 15 days? How did you manage that?

    So a tyre and balljoint crippled your finances for the month, maybe you should of used the spare, if you have one? You need to save something each month or spend less.

    I would suggest payday loan but that would be the top of a bad debt spiral but as your in an IVA that wouldnt be the best plan. You could ask your IP for a payment holiday on your IVA.

    What exactly do you NEED to buy and is there anything you can sell quickly on the e-bay?

    Very unlucky with your car aren't you?
