Can Op confirm that they are making the monthly payments to Black Horse. As that will clear up who is responsible here.

Right to cancel might not apply here and I think OP should raise an official complaint with BH...
Why wouldn't the right to cancel apply here?
If I understand you correctly you are suggesting that the OP has no relationship with the "seller" and that instead Cinch is supplying the car on a hire or hire purchase basis. If so, can't the OP simply go direct to Cinch and cancel the hire or hire purchase contract? Or can't such contracts be cancelled?
Alternatively, can the OP exercise the short-term right to reject?
If a service 14 day period to cancel has expired.
That doesn't mean OP isn't entitled to some kind of resolve here, they obviously can't be expected to pay for a service they aren't receiving, I'm just not sure exactly what remedy they should state they exercising
I don't know but as the HP contract must make provision for the eventual transfer of ownership to the consumer if all payments are made, wouldn't that qualify as a sales contract under para 5 of the CRA?
But if you are right and the cancellation window has expired, can't the OP still exercise the short-term right to reject?0 -

HP is in Ch2 Goods where it has an entire section to itself, Ch2(7) Hire purchase agreements.2 -

So they can cancel now if they haven't already done so...0 -
Hire purchase agreements are regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, which was left unchanged by the CCR.
Under reg 99 or reg100 (I think) of the CCA, the buyer can exercise their right to terminate the agreement at any time simply by informing the lender of their intention. Within the first 14 days the lender can't make any charge (the 'cooling off period'). Charges for terminating later are as specified by the HP agreement but are subject to statutory limits defined in the Act.1 -

It's very embarrassing I have forgotten this as I studied it 40 years ago....0 -
