In the case of a hire-purchase agreement, it is possible to reimburse it prematurely by means of an invoice fee. The settlement fee covers the cost of any remaining unpaid payments and interest payments that remain on the agreement. Once the billing fee is paid, you take full ownership of the car earlier. If I wanted to keep the vehicle, I would have to fund a new 6% deal for the £13,600 balloon price. This means I paid interest on this 13600 plus interest on £20,000 = INTEREST PAYMENTS 0n £33600 @ 6%. This type of agreement suggests to me that financial companies lick their lips with this product. Alternatively, you can return the car to the finance company, which would also take care of the contract.

We then determine the minimum guaranteed value (GMFV) of the vehicle at the end of the agreement and charge a deposit and a monthly amount that suits you.
With a personal contract plan (PCP), you can finance your Mercedes-Benz for a fixed period of time. Simply decide the amount of the deposit you want to pay, the duration of your contract and the expected mileage. We can then calculate your monthly payment schedule. If you want to rent a Mercedes-Benz for a fixed period of time without ownership liability, the Mercedes Personal Operating Lease solution is ideal. All you have to do is make an advance payment. Your monthly rent is then calculated based on the initial value of the vehicle and its expected value at the end of the contract. Monthly payments are low with this financing solution, because only part of the value of the vehicle is reimbursed. As part of a personal purchase agreement, you can also pay a settlement fee for early termination of the contract. After that, you can choose if you want to return the car or if you have a second option. Through a PCP agreement, you can become full ownership of the car by reimbursing the remaining minimum guaranteed future value, also known as balloon payment.

It`s similar to a hire purchase agreement in that you typically make an upfront down payment, followed by monthly payments over a period that typically ranges from 18 to 48 months. What distinguishes PCP from hire-purchase (HP) is that your monthly payments pay the depreciation of the car rather than its total value over time. Then, when you reach the end of your agreement, there is a final balloon payment that must be made if you want to keep the car. The lump sum payment is often referred to as the Guaranteed Future Value (GFV). Your vehicle can be the subject of a final service before the end of your contract. If this is the case, we strongly recommend that you hire a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle dealer to ensure that your vehicle receives the attention and care it deserves. At the beginning of your agreement, you must make an advance payment in advance. Your monthly rents are based on the difference between the vehicle`s initial value and its projected residual value at the end of your agreement. As a result, only a portion of the vehicle`s value is refunded, reducing monthly payments. Hire-purchase is a way to finance the purchase of a new or used car. You usually pay an upfront deposit and pay the full value of the car in monthly installments.
When all payments are made, the hire purchase agreement ends and you own the car directly. If you return your vehicle at the end of your contract, it must be homologated for the road. If not, you may be charged a fee, so make sure you are: you are nearing the end of your Personal Contract Plan.

First of all, misunderstand the product. You borrowed £20,000 over three years, but you only paid back £7,000 (based on the figures you provided). That`s why you paid interest on £20,000. The remaining amount (lump sum payment) is what you have to pay to pay for the financing contract. You borrowed that money, so you paid interest on it, but you didn`t repay the amount of the balloon.
Typically, you can sign your agreement earlier by asking the finance company to provide you with a settlement figure. However, the finance company asks you to pay the difference between what your car is worth and what you still owe, and there may be a difference known as negative equity. On the other hand, you may find that your car is worth more than the guaranteed future value at the end of your term, which means you have positive equity that you can contribute to your next car. Once you have made your monthly payments (and, if applicable, the final payment of the balloon), the vehicle will be at your disposal. A «call option fee» will be deducted from your account with your balance. You can find this amount in the «Other Financial Information» section of your agreement.
