I terminated an agreement on a BMW in November and the woman literally looked at the outside, had a peek at the inside and that was it. Couldnt have asked for an easier handover

Hi
I am new to these forums but I am really interested in the comments below. We currently have a Mercedes that is worth less than the finance. We are aware of this right to terminate if you have paid 50% of the total amount payable in the agreement.
Has anyone done this? Does it affect your credit rating? My husband is hoping to get out of this (due to the extreme negative equity). Is there any costs?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Best to start your own thread rather than resurrect an old one.

Your options will depend on the type of finance - HP, loan, PCP...

I doubt you can just walk away from the deal, hand back the car and expect the lender to take the hit on the negative equity.

If it's a regulated HP, PCP or conditional sale agreement, that is exactly what you can expect...that is ultimately the whole reason the VT option is part of the CCA...

Looks like you're right - that would be one reason car finance of this type tends to be expensive.
