I hired a vehicle in 2008 and returned it in 2010 with five months left on my contract. It was a hire purchase with an option to buy. The company has now sold the vehicle and are claiming i need to pay the difference between what they sold the vehicle for and what it is worth. Should'nt I be liable for just the last 5 months ?

Hello thre, and a warm welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately your finance company has the right, if a vehcile is returned, to insist you pay the outstanding balance due under the agreement which will include the costs of the sale etc of the vehicle, minus any sale proceeds of the vehicle, bearing in mind that the vehicle will more than likely be sold for far lower than the market value at an auction

Hope this helps, Melanie
