Skipton BS overpayment?

Options
Ok So I'm really getting geared up to start my MFW quest in 2011.

I reckon that this year I can start with a £150 pcm regular OP and a LSP in June of £1200 (a little SAYE I have running at work).
From tiny acorns etc.

The thing that's throwing me a curveball at the moment is searching about Skipton.
Threads on here suggest that if you make overpayment that they reduce the monthly payment by default.
I have read that if you want a term reduction they charge for this.

I understand that I took out the mortgage, it bears my signature at the bottom and I deserve to be bound by its T&Cs.
But, in those T&Cs I am allowed to make a 10% (original capital) OP.

Does anyone know if I can make a monthly overpayment to reduce the term rather than reduced PCM payment?
I know the answer is "call CS and speak to them" but having embarked on MFW it's so exciting and I want answers now :rotfl::rotfl:

many thanks for any help you can give me
