Changing Jobs - Help!

Help!

I am changing employers in 2 weeks. As i am leaving my current job in the middle of the month and we get paid 2 weeks in advance and 2 weeks in arrears i will only be getting 50% of the salary i am used to. In addition to this they think i owe them 3 days holiday which they are going to deduct from my final salary I am fighting this however as i think they are trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

I will not get paid in my new Job until the end of January so i have about 6 weeks without any income.

My dilemma is, i have a car on HP and a bank loan i need to pay for along with a few things such as phone bill.

My expected wage from my current employer will not cover all my bills for the month and i will have 6 weeks to live in the mean time.

I am after some advice really, do people think i may be able to to delay the car and loan payments for a month and then pay double in January? I have worked it out and will be able to afford it easily as i have inherited a substantial payrise. I've not yet asked the car loan supplier and bank yet but may do if it is worth a try?

Thanks for your help :)
