Handing car back ( half and thirds rule) HELP

Can anyone give me a hand,

i'm looking to hand my car back but I don't know what to write in the letter to the finance company to see how much I have to pay to give them the car back, I'm looking at roughly £800 or wait 3 months

so basically does anyone have a sample letter that they sent to the finance company that you could send me?

Thanks Ross :)

    Dear Sir,

    I want to return my car early. How much will I have to pay for early termination of the finance agreement.

    Lots of love,
    Ross
  • Hi Use this letter....they should then write to you advising how much you need to pay to get the car up to the 50% mark
