What is the diff btw hire purchase and deffered payment?

Hire purchase involves a buyer acquiring an asset by paying an initial deposit and then making regular installment payments over a specified period until the total purchase price is paid. Ownership of the asset is transferred to the buyer once the final payment is made. Deferred payment, on the other hand, allows a buyer to take possession of an asset immediately but delay full payment until a later date, often with added interest or fees. The buyer does not own the asset until the full payment is made in deferred payment schemes.
