Beverly W

My car's packed in again. I'm housebound without it. I'm cut off from friends & family already. Public transport is challenging taxis are more costly than I can afford.. I'm compromised which ever way I turn. The car is a lifeline. I'm isolated without it. However getting it diagnosed & repaired is a gamble. It may well break down again. I simply don't have "newer" car money. Even if I did have, the second hand car market means taking a risk when purchasing another.

As far as I'm aware it's well reported statistically that people on lower incomes don't have spare funds to pay for unexpected repairs or replacements. When will the status quo change for the better?
