Just took out a HSBC personal loan for 12 months as a means of consolidating other loans (In particular a nasty payday loan!), which has worked out great.

Anyway I have a fairly good income which means I should in theory be able to pay this loan off a lot earlier than the 12 months, would this save me money? I did try and read some of the HSBC documentation but it went straight over my head! :)

(I think the 'interest' over the 12 months works out around £277, the loan is £2500)
