  • Barclays will tell you if you have PPI - give them a call.

    As to paying it back quicker and if you cannot get existing Credit - then find out what APR you are paying and if there are any early repayment charges if you wanted to get out early.

    They maybe able to refinance your loan cheaper and you stand a better chance with them as you are an existing Customer who is at least paying.

    Failing that I'd would look at the APR and if extremely high you may still be able to get a better deal elsewhere or if you have savings and no early close charge use that option...
