If you have a car on finance can you scrap it or do you need to inform them and settle in full?

I live in the UK, bought a car on finance 3 1/2 years ago but its timing belt stripped (2nd time since buying it) and caused over 鎷?000 of damage and I cant afford repairs but unsure how I stand with finance company if I scrap it as I still have 7 payments to make but cant afford to pay it all at once. My car is in storage at present but cant leave it there for 7 months.

In theory until you make the final payment to the finance company they still own the car. You can%26#039;t legally scrap a car that isn%26#039;t yours.



When you make the final payment they release claim against he vehicle then you can scrap it.

I believe that the finance company still owns the vehicle, so don%26#039;t scrap it. However, why not sell it to highest bidder and pay off the difference..or sell it for what you owe? Then get a new one!
