in Loans
Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer!
I have a loan with a major supermarket's money division, with a four year term. Fixed payments, etc.
I have been looking into all the ways I could make use of to be debt free by the end of this calendar year, and paying the loan off early comes up in there.
By December this year I will have made 36 of the 48 payments. I have looked at my paperwork linked to the loan and it appears that paying it off early at this stage would cost me £75 MORE than simply allowing the DD to collect it through 2013.
is this likely to be accurate? This is the first time I've been in a position to consider paying a loan off early so I'm a little confused! I would love to be able to clear it, but the extra cost seems a waste to me!
Any thoughts?

Best to phone them up and ask for a settlement figure.0

I will do, of course, when the time comes. I may, though, phone them now and see what figures they can quote me at this stage. Thank you!0
