We have a loan with santander have had it for awhile and am shcked at how much is still outstanding. We have all cc s at 0%and wonder if its possible to pay off a big chunk off it for next 3 months to clear it and minimum on cc's. oh says its not possible but thought you clever folks might know more (he said we would'nt get a 0% for 16 months on£8,000 but we did.

    Nothing to stop you paying off the loan early, but there may not be much final advantage in doing so.

    Ring the loan company and ask for a settlement figure.

    Then multiply your monthly payment by the number of payments outstanding, and compare the two.
