Advice on getting rid of an HPA please

I've already had some great advice regarding my debts and I was choosing between an IVA and bankruptcy.

My husbands main debt is a HPA for a car. If we can work out how to get rid of that, we could probably consider an IVA as our debts aren't that much after that.

I have read an IVA doesn't include HPA and we couldn't afford the £281 per month on the car and then extra for an IVA.

The car details are:


Who is it with - Welcome Finance

How much the loan amount was for the vehicle - £13,714.92

How much is the APR - 28.2%

How much deposit paid - £101.00

How much monthly payments are: £281.54

How many months you have paid - None. We've only had it for 2 months though and we are in dispute over repairs as the car was not fit for its purpose.

How much is the sale value - If we could sell, around £6000 I reckon.

So, any ideas? We are trying to get an appt with CAB sorted but I'd like to have an idea of the options.
