Loan Interest - Can someone help?
Hi all,
I took a loan out 8 months ago for £12,000. The interest is 9% APR.
Can someone work out what the total repayable amount should be? Either I've done it wrong or I'm being charged PPI when I didn't ask for it.
Thankyou very much.

We need to know how long the loan is for - the longer it is, the more interest you'll pay in total0

The loan calculator here:
http://www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk/tools.aspx?Tool=loan_calculator
says for £12000, 3 years, 9% APR and 12 repayments a year it should be £381.60 per month, total interest paid £1,737.48. Sound right?0 -
