In the Registration Services Agreement you signed you explicitly disclaimed ownership. There is no legal ownership, either by you or a financing company. There might or might not be legal ownership by ARIN -- that's not well defined by the courts yet. </div><div><br></div><div>Organizations receiving IP addresses from ARIN must demonstrate an operational need. The financing company has no such need. Hence ARIN will not accept them as the registrant lawfully entitled to control of the address block.</div><div><br></div><div>To some extent you may be able to make binding legal promises to the financing company with respect to facilitating a subsequent transfer should you default on payments. A lawyer could help you figure out how. I'm dubious about your luck talking the financing company in to it.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Bill Herrin</div></div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail-m_-4215698475341986864gmail_signature">William Herrin ................ <a href="mailto:herrin@dirtside.com" target="_blank">herrin@dirtside.com</a> <a href="mailto:bill@herrin.us" target="_blank">bill@herrin.us</a><br>Dirtside Systems .........
