Offset help please.

Hi, could anyone help solve my little problem?

I have an offset mortgage with Woolich and recently reduced my payments, to help pay off a small debt. Now that that is sorted I'm wondering if I should put the £100 which the mortgage was reduced by back onto the mortgage payment, or pay it into my ISA, which is currently in the offset arrangement! Would this make the slightest bit of difference? I just can't get my head around the figures.
If you need any more info ie amounts, please ask.
Thank you

    If your ISA is offset then make sure you max out the ISA each year and not take any out if you can .

    It makes no difference now where the money is but once the mortgage is paid off you get the long term tax benifit.

    At the end of the loan you need to try and keep the ISA money for future tax benifits and pay of the loan another way.
