HP different to Fixed Sum Loan Agreement?

Hi all

I have started a DMP as I have £32k of debt.

Most of it is my car loan which I assumed was on HP (that's what the dealer told me) but after reading through my agreement I see it is called a Fixed Sum Loan Agreement.

Am just wondering how different this is to HP and where I would stand with the creditor?

With HP, the creditor owns the car until the loan is paid - am I right in thinking it's different with a FSLA?
Do I own the car?
Can the creditors take the car off me if they refuse a reduced payment plan?
Can they force me to sell it ??

So confused :(
