You can end (terminate) a hire purchase or conditional sale agreement in writing and return the goods at any time. This can be useful if you can no longer afford the payments or you don’t need the goods any more. You will have to pay all the instalments due up to the time you end the agreement.

It can be difficult to part ways with a car or house you’ve been working to pay down, but in the event of default, selling it may be your best recourse to recouping the cost, paying back the lender, and preserving your finances with minimal losses. Taking the initiative here can prevent repossession, foreclosure or seizure of the asset.

This means it’ll be harder to get credit cards, loans or bank accounts because the default tells the creditor there’s a greater risk of you not paying.

What happens when a cosigner of a credit card defaults?
You’re agreeing to take full responsibility for that credit card, car loan or student loan if they can’t — or won’t — pay. If they become delinquent or default, it’s up to you to fulfill the debt and take over their payments, effectively making you, the cosigner, the primary borrower on a loan that wasn’t yours to begin with.
