    Firstly you have to have paid a certain amount back already - Think its 50% of the total so that is not 50% of what the car cost but 50% of what you borrowed plus all the charges and interest.

    Although it shouldnt affect your credit rating the finance company will record a note on your credit file and it would likely make any other lenders slightly concerned that you may do it again.

    Would it not be better to sell the car privately and then pay the credit company back?
