Just requested a A&L loan for OH as his Cahoot loan interst has risen to 13.9.
Asked for £5600 over a year. A&L say interest rate is 6.9% and monthly payment is £525.
Using the snowball calculator it says this should pay it off in 11 months. What am I working out wrong? Don't want to pay £700 interest over the year -that sounds more than 6.9% to me.
Can anyone mathematically minded help please?
