    The only answer is that it is up to the OR - brand new Range Rover or clapped out Corsa ? The HP co will allow you to keep it as long as you keep up the payments. If you honestly think you will not be able to keep up the payments one option may be terminating and putting the debt into the BR. Have you sought any advice from a debt charity ?

    Have a look at the Bankruptcy guide here

    https://www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/technicalmanual/Ch25-36/Chapter31/part2/31-2%20Front%20page.htm

    Will give you some insight on the circumstances surrounding keeping the car - or more importantly being able to justify continuing with the payments. You don't say why you need one.

    Are either of you claiming Carer's Allowance for your son?

    CA is taken as an indication of need but not an absolute. You should be OK if you explain it.

    Is there any equity in the car? If no, the OR will send a letter of non-adopt to the HP Company, it is then up to the finance company to decide what to do.

    If there is equity, the OR may decide to sell the car and replace with one of a lower value.

    How much is it worth? It could then potentially be an Asset and be sold/replaced with one of a lower value.

    Also, where would the funds come from? You don't want to make a preference payment to the HP company as the OR could overturn.
