Ratesetter - Early repayment
Hi all, I need a loan. Ratesetter will give me £4500. Total repayable is £5700. High interest. This SHOULDN'T be a problem as I intend on repaying early, by overpaying and using my current car sale to pay off a chunk. My question, If I make, for example an overpayment of £2000, is the £2000 coming off of the £4500, or the…
