give three similarities and three difference between hire purchases and deferred payment
origin and development of hire purchase
With bank credit, you are buying it - and making monthly payments to the bank which loaned you the money. With hire/purchase, you are buying it on a month-by-month basis, and paying the person who owns it once a month, until it is "paid off" and you then own it. Surprisingly, "hire/purchase" frequently turns out to be the more expensive of the two in the long run.
