Leaving Switzerland and taking Car

Hi i hope somebody can answer my question?

We are relocating to the UK in in September after being in Switzerland for about one year.

I have taken out a Finance on a car and i still have 36 payments to go with no limited milage per year.

I would like to take the car with me but neet to pay the balance I owe the fianace company, however, I do not have that kind of money right now.

I was thinking of driving the car to the UK where I am allowed to drive for 6 months on no UK plates and when i get my bonus next year in January pay of the balance and obvously keep paying my monthly instalments until then from my Swiss bank account which I will keep.

When I live Switzerland I will loose my B permit, do you think the Finance company will find out and cause problems for me?

Hope you can help me

Thanks

How about giving them a call and explaining your situation?

Your lease contract may have some clauses about taking the car permanently out of Switzerland.
