It is only delaying it, so is helping you out today it was never meant to be to help you out for any longer, which is why they stated only take it if you need to.0

£1100 per month sounds as if you've got your wires crossed. Is this the amount that's been deferred in total due to the payment holiday?0

are you sure thats not the total amount you need to pay including the 3 payments you missed either way another example of why buying a car on finance is one of the worst financial mistakes you can make0
