Money

So I messed up. My husbands car was hit by our neighbour, they didn’t want to go through the insurance so gave us the money in cash to get it fixed. But we then had some other bills and expenses going on so spent the cash. Anyway I booked the car into my dad’s friend’s garage and they ordered the bumper and rang me today to book in. We had planned to pay for the work on our credit card, but just found out this guy will only do it for cash or bank transfer. We don’t have £1100 in cash. Any bright ideas on how to get £1100 by next week? 😩

So did your neighbour give you £1,100 p fix he car or only part of it?

@Tasha they gave us all £1100 but we spent the cash as we had other bills - like our boiler needed looking at and my husband needed a new part for some tools, but we just assumed we could pay the car place by credit card 🫣

Go somewhere else and get it done or ask around friends/ family to help you out. Not much you can do other than those things

See if you can get a money transfer from your cc.

Can you not go elsewhere, somewhere that will accept credit cards?

@Maeve I already got the guy to order the part and we’ve waited 2 weeks for it to come in

Seeing as it's a family friend, ask if you could set up a payment plan?

Put things on credit card that you would normally pay for out of your bank account to free up the cash to pay. Or do a balance transfer from your credit card to your bank account but check about fees first!

Some credit cards allow you to withdraw cash , just make sure you check what fees apply for this.
