Car finance debt in need of advice!

Hello all,
I am 20 years old, I got a car out of finance 15 months ago, the car was 15,000 and my monthly payment is 250 pound, the monthly payments are killing me and I cannot keep up and need help, I can terminate the contract when I have 7000 left to pay, I have only paid of 3750, can anyone help with what I could do to end the contract without laying more money out???

Thanks

    post in the right section, of and you have to pay 50%
    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.

    OP keep it to the loans section as its more appropriate.

    sell the car and pay off the loan?
  • What can you cut back on? Or can you get a second job to pay the loan?

    If you give details of your income and outgoing someone may be able to give you advice.
