Correct. all I will say is if you do VT (voluntary terminate) don't be surprised if you can't finance another car on HP....finance companies don't like being handed cars back as there is usually a loss (I work for a PLC finance house) and when we see that, all we will offer is a lease which they cannot walk away from unless they fully settle.
