Van Lease Purchase

Hello all, new user here with a question about vehicle finance.

My limited company bought two vans in November 2007 with finance provided by Lombard. We had originally requested a HP agreement and until today I had believed this is what we were on, however having just checked over the paperwork it turns out it is a 'lease purchase' agreement and NOT HP.

Business not been going well for some time now so ideally we were looking to downsize and return these vehicles if we can (have paid over 50% of the finance).

My question is: is there any way to VT an agreement like this or end it early without too many repercussions?

Alternatively could I sell the vehicles and pay any shortfall to the finance company?

Many thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas
