  • Unregulated Hire Purchase Agreement

    In May 2007, I took out a HP agreement with Freeway (Bank of Scotland-BOS).
    This was my 2nd car with them, the previous being handed back "early" as I wanted to get a new car.
    I did not notice, nor was I told, that the new agreement was "non-regulated" (total cost of credit&car £37k).

    2 years later, I have a new job and a company car- but have been told by BOS that I cannot hand the car back (unless I pay the balance of £21k- the car is worth £15k max).

    I am up to date on payments and if I have to keep the car I will- although my mileage will go above the agreement of 15,000 miles a year so I potentially will be penalised by £5-6k anyway!

    Question- the agreement does not specify what rights I have (or do not have) nor is there any mention of the CCA. It just says "Hire Purchase Agreement Non Regulated" .

    Are there any options at all in being able to hand the car back and walk away- other than selling and paying the difference?

    Thanks!
