    AFAIK usually the total cost of PPI is added upfront to the amont of the loan.
    In this case your current balance shows what you actually owe: the reminder of (£10K+PPI).

    what exactly are you trying to achieve?

    you owe an amount equal to the monthly repayment x the number of months to complete the loan.

    however, if the loan is flexible (i.e. can you overpay and reduce the interest baring debt) then what are the T&Cs?

    sorry but the answer is all in the detail of your T&Cs.
