Hi everyone - I've got a loan that is fo £11500 (if I pay it back now) 3.4 years left to pay, the interest rate is 6.9% Is it worth moving it to a life of balance credit card? I would like to clear it quicker too!

What do you think? :rolleyes:

Thanks

    Depends what the payment penalty to repay early is.

    If you can get LOB or 0% cards with combined limits of 11.5k it will probably save you some money. If you can afford the current repayments, by continuing to pay the same amount (with less interest) you should be able to repay earlier.

    6.9% is not a bad rate for an unsecured loan though.

    Good luck.
