  • Vehicle Finance - Termination - meaning?

    Hi, I would appreciate some advice re terminating a vehicle finance arrangement and returning the car. In February half of the total payments will have been made (36 month contract due to end in September). The paragraph in the finance agreement reads as follows:
    "You have a right to end this agreement. To do so, you should write to the person you make payments to. You will then be entitled to the return of the goods and to half the total amount payable under this agreement (gives amount). If you have already paid at least this amount plus any overdue instalments and have taken reasonable care of the goods, you will not have to pay any more."
    To me this reads that I would be entitled to half the total payable and to keep the car! Can that be so?
    I checked a previous agreement I have had and that says "They will then be entitled to the return of the goods and to half the total amount payable . . ." This is what I would expect, so I am struggling to make sense of my existing contract.
    Any advice would be really appreciated.
    Martin.

    It's an obvious error as you are right it should say they., not you.

    That statement is a statutory statement that must be included in every hire purchase type agreement. It is governed under the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 2010 and it cannot be modified in any way. If you want to see what it is supposed to say then check the link below, read item 9.

    If you have a question about the voluntary termination process, please read this guide first, as it should have all the answers you need. Please do not hijack another person's thread as I will not respond to you
