Repaying a loan early

I currently have a loan with Picture Finance and have 8 years remaining. I have the option to move my mortage to another company and pay them off which is about 35k in total.

After speaking to them today I was cheaky enough to ask if they would accept an offer or would the 35k be what is required and they suggested to write to them with a reseasonble offer and they would consider it.

Has anyone ever done this with Picture or another loan provider if so what did you offer and was it accepted?

Thank You

  • Very unlikely to happen unless you default on the payments and ruin your credit report, expect no future lending for six years potentially.
    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)
  • This is a secured loan, pay them in full or they will seek to repossess your property
