Fortis Car Finance

Hi,

I bought a car last year and the finance is with Fortis Lease UK.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to make overpayments on the loan so that I can pay the car off quicker and pay less interest?

I've had a look through the paperwork of the finance agreement but it doesn't mention anything about overpayments.

Thanks!

    Is it a lease, loan or HP agreement?
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    It says it's a Hire Purchase although I'm not really sure what that means...
