  • I was in a fixed rate deal with about a year to run. I paid it off leaving £1 outstanding, I did have to pay an early redemption fee but it worked out a lot less than another years interest. I can also "draw back" the overpayment if I need to as my account is still open. I was with Nationwide.
    Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.
  • why not speak to your bank or building society they will be best informed to help you
