Low credit rating for HP finance

Hi,
I have a car on finance that was taken out when I was with my ex partner. The finance is in my name and it is my car, but it is on PCP. Being a single parent and left with debts out of my control (I have gone through StepChange to sort these) there is still 2 years left on the finance contract and I simply can’t afford it, they are unable to help me with this.
So I applied for an older cheaper car on HP with the negative equity from my current car transferred too. However I was declined.
I have family that are willing to take finance out for me, but would I be able to still transfer the negative equity in my name over onto a new HP with it being in their name?
I hope this makes sense. I am really struggling and this seems the only way?
Any other suggestions welcome!

How many payments have you made ? I think if you have paid 50% then you can VT the car Your contract will detail it.0

Your options would be to VT the car now, find out how much you need to pay to get you to the 50% point and ask your family to pay for this - you ask your family to pay the monthly PCP payments for you until you can hand it back at the half way point - best take out GAP insurance as well though.
Dont buy another car on HP, just get a cheap one until your more stable.
If your credit history is already shot to pieces and you have more than 3 or 4 times your annual income in debt then think about VTing without paying them and take out an IVA - 6 years you will be ready to get credit again.0
