  • We need to know about the insurance.
    It seems as if the whole of the eight years insurance was taken on day one. Then it might have been added to the loan on day one. But if you are not paying off the insurance as well as the loan then that would explain why your outstanding balance is "ballooning".
    Please get the fact as soon as possible.

    the settlement figure should be about 10,500

    I would suggest he writes for a formal settlement figure and then sees what it says ratherr than rely on a figure on the phone.
