    Is it HP or Loan? How much is car worth and how much of the finance is left to pay?

    Assuming that the finance outstanding is more than the car is worth, then the OR will send a letter of non-adoption to the HP company and it is then down to the HP company to decide what to do. Check the small print for a BR clause.

    I would think the finance company would reposses the car, but it really depends on whats left outstanding etc. i voluntarily terminated my agreement and they picked it up 5 days later, I then just included the shortfall in the Bankruptcy, he could do it that way too....or is he trying to find a way of keeping the car?
