Paying Abbey Loan off Early

Options
Hi Guys,

Im trying to save to pay my Abbey Loan off early, does anybody know if there are any penalties for doing this and if so what they are, and will i get any interest back or do they take it off when they give me a settlement figure?

Thanks

    yes, the settlement figure will be the amount of capital still reamining plus a couple of months interest; so you don't pay the full interest
  • I I looked at paying a loan off early my egg one which ends December I was going to get it paid for te summer but then when I looked at just how little I'd save by paying several months early I saw no point i'd rather go to the term however paying the egg kaon won't clear my debt if it would hav I'd of happily plowed it quicker lol. Best to overpay the credit cards for now. Good luck on overpayments x

    Well this Abbey Loan has 24.9% APR and im paying £97.55 a month and only £49 of that is paying the capital, the rest is pure interest :( My boyfriend is lending me some money and with what i have saved i am wanting to pay it off early because im basically throwing nearly £50 a month away by having this loan
