hi all,need some advice on my car finance,
i need to get rid of my vxr astra as it has been nothing but trouble since day one,problem is i dont have rhe money to pay the finance off.
with regards to the finance would i have to pay all of the interest of or just the credit i initially owed with no interest?

We'd need more info than that.

How long have you had it?, how long was the agreement for.?, is there a final baloon payment?, what are you money payments?.

You may be able to hand it back under halves and thirds rules, but you have to have paid enough to cover half the value (thats original finance plus all interest halved)

Have you got your agreement?

What does your agreement say in terms of early repayment?

Assuming the borrow is against the car and not a personal loan - the beauty of a HP is it's a tri-partite agreement.

One assumes you've bought the car from a big dealer group who are now trying to wash their hands of you and the car. If this is the case contact the finance company and explain the situation. You'll find that they manage to get things sorted, normally pretty quickly.

Unless i've read it all wrong and you've just changed your mind?

well ring them up and say "can i have a settlement figure please"

I suspect you will not like what you hear.

No, you don't.

Seriously, contact the finance company and get them to sort out the supplying dealer.

Unless you have got buyers remorse in which case you'll just need to swallow hard and suck it up.

You say the car has been a lot of problems? What problems? When did they arise? And how long have you had the car?

This is probably your best option. You will get bent over otherwise.
