    Under the Hire Purchase Act, you can return any item that is subject to a hire purchase agreement under a rule colloquially known as the "Half Rule". This means that as long as you have paid half the price of the agreement, you can return the item and the agreement will be considered fulfilled. This will not affect your credit rating either.


    You need to outline a letter to the financial institution who provided your HP Agreement, stating that you wish to return the item under the half rule. For more information, see this thread

    The car must be in good condition, normal wear and tear is acceptable. Also ensure the voluntary surrender form is not signed when returning it as this will keep you liable for the balance on the account.
