REPAYING LOANS EARLY
Well Martin thought you would have mentioned this little trick,
I have a loan with LLoyds Bank for 8,200. However they can charge you up to 60 days interest if you want to pay it off early. If you would send them a cheque for say 8,100 and then ask for a settlement quote they then only charge you interest on the 100 outstanding over the 60 days.
Also the same will work when companys apply the 78 rule.
