Hi

First thing is to seek advice.

Either on the forum with some of the experts to the left. You can also speak to the local CAB and organisations such as CCCS - all free.

The car is less that the OR is generally prepared to accept - that tends to be up to £2K. There may be a need to demonstrate that you need a car - transporting childrenm, sick family - job interviews etc - if you are in a rural area.

Good luck, Richard

If you need a car for work or to look for work or there are medical reasons that you need a car to get around it is normall for the OR to exempt a car worth less than £2000 o you should be ok.
I would also recommend having a free no obligation chat to one of the forums professional forum experts link on the left of the page
