    Hi pompeyfaith, it was abolished at end of May 2005 for new borrowers. Most loans prior to this had it applied. Existing ones taken before end of May 2005 who have loans for terms of 10 years or less, and want to settle early, would not benefit until 2007. Those with loans for longer than 10 years will not be covered until 2010.;)

    And PF - you are not a pain at all. I want to help.

    Marshallka,

    So does that mean any loans I settled after may 2005 would not use rule of 78 ?

    Just that I have 3 that were after this date.

    Regards

    It means that if you signed for the loan before 31st May 2005 then they would be allowed to use rule of 78 in the settlement BUT if you signed an agreement after then they would not be allowed. If you settled any loan that was taken out BEFORE 31st May, 2005 and settled it after 2007 (don't know the exact date in 2007 but will try to find it - think it would be April???) then they should not use it if the loan was contracted for less than 10 years. If the loan was for more than 10 years and taken out before 31st May 2005 then they would still be allowed to use it until this year. Most nowadays don't use it though.

    The new regs of 2004 were much fairer to the consumer and they only charged a maximum of two months interest (think!!) for settling loans early. Really and truely with Co-op we were very lucky that they DID rebate more than the usual rule 78 as they were legally allowed to do. RULE 78 stinks.
