Not eligible for any sort of loan

Agree with the above.

I'd clear your debts before you start trying to take out more credit.

Best starting by owing nothing before big purchases.

Thanks for your replies. I'm not being inconsistent, the 8k debt is in my mother's name which I pay £206 a month for, like I said it's a potential bike, for when the court date comes.

But if you get a driving ban that's a ban not just for cars but every vehicle you need a driving licence for, including motorbikes.

I know, I'm hoping I don't that's why I said potential.

What kind of bike are you hoping to get for a grand ?

Second hand prices have gone through the roof in recent years, have you passed your test yet ?

Even 10 year old 125`s are around the 2k mark on auto trader.

I’d agree with the point above, you’ll not get anything decent for £1,000 nowadays, so you’ll need to budget some money and time to get it working, plus a few hundred for helmet, jacket, boots and gloves.

I have the gear. I'm looking at saving until October and getting the loan of £1000 for something around 2-3k. I have a CBT, looking for a 125. That's hoping the court date goes fine. (Check my other thread)

This OP, get the loans paid off.
