What's best in the long run ?

Hi, This is my first post so be gentle with me lol

I have a Cahoot loan of £1700 with 11 months to go before it's paid off. :T
I have manaaged to save about £1000 and I have an overdraft facility of £800.
Would it be better for me to use my savings and overdraft to pay off this loan or would the overdraft interest make it an unwise decision ?
I'm also worried about trying to close it after reading all the threads about Cahoot !!

Any comments are much appreciated.... :o

    Whats the APR on the loan? Bigger than the overdraft? Could you pay off the overdraft quickly?
    Why not just pay the £1000 savings to the loan then you wont have much longer to go anyway?
