  • Hi funky monkey - I'm not sure as to what your options are, but you could always ask the HP company. You never know, you might be able to convince them to take it back early, although I'm guessing they'll want you to pay them for the privilege...

  • I managed to get out of my HP agreement by selling it back to the garage I bought it from - not sure if its common practice, but its worth a go! I was pretty lucky, they dealt with everything for me in the end, found a buyer, settled the HP, and then just paid me the remaining cash after everything had been taken out. Maybe not the "best" way to do it, but it was definately easiest as far as I was concerned!
