LLOYDS ABOUT 1300

    Hi mate,
    I dont know if thay would accept your offer but its always worth a try.
    I know that in the past i offerd 70% of what i owd on a loan. 2 years before the loan was up and thay said yes. As when you pay off a oan early thay have to take the intrest off the final bal of what you would have paid if the loan went full tearm.

    Have a try mate and let us know haow you get on
    Best of luck:beer:
    :jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j
