the only way of keeping your mortgage payments the same every month by overpaying is to reduce the term when you overpay. Then the monthly payment remains the same regardless.
Either setting the default to reducing term when you overpay or to reducing the monthly payments makes no difference to the capital owed - every time you overpay the capital will be reduce by this.0
