Endownment - Leaving Early question

Hi,

Have an endowment policy for £45K that will only at current rate give me £26K. It finishes in 8 years (from a 25 year term)

I can currently get it in for £14K and save the £70 per month (£6720 till it finishes)

If I pay off my only two credit cards with the £14K, the money I'm paying would go into savings at £400 per month giving me £38K. If I also paid in the £70 (£6720) from the current endowment that would give me a grand total of £45,120 - Which was the required final total anyway :)

My question is if I should I do it and would it be worth it to sell the endowment policy through a 3rd party?

All ideas are helpful - cheers

K
:)
