Post office Loan - repaying lump sum

I am looking to take out a £7000 loan. I was looking at the post office which has a decent APR. In the T&Cs it says that loan can be repaid early with no fee.
Does anyone know could I make lump sum payments to this in addition to the monthly direct debit payments without any penalty.

Or does anyone knows of any company with a competitive APR which allows you to do this without any penalty.

I would be taking the loan out over 4 years but if I had some extra money any month I would like the option to pay a lump sum of the loan. Is this feasible or would I have to go down the credit card option.

Thanks in advance for any help.
