  • Pay off the most expensive loans first. As long as the terms of the loan allow you to, without fee/charges.

    What you save will soon accumulate to finish off the mortgage.

    Always pay off the highest interest rate loans first.

    Given your mortgage rate is so low, I would suggest save your money instead of overpaying. Cash ISA's are the place to look for your savings.

    Finally the repayment amount of £400pcm is too high? Your regular payment should only be £256.12.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:
