Basically my car engine blew up on Friday night, im off on a weeks holiday this week.
I can't do my job without my car, Im a support worker and go to peoples homes in sometimes far flung places that stay far apart from each other.
Only had car (2nd hand) for 7 weeks, CAB have advised me that garage should refund or replace and if not take them through the small claims court which after speaking to garage is where im going to have to go.
Im due back at work on Sunday, there's no way I can do the job without a car. Im going to call my boss later and explain the situation.
Can't afford even a cheapy car just now and this one unrepairable, wouldn't be able to get credit either.
Im incredibly stressed about all this and the only solution I can see is to ask my boss to pay me off as im unable to carry out my normal duties, I can't resign as wouldnt be able to work notice period!!
Any suggestions, im not even sure what Im asking for here, just have to vent.
