    It depends why you want to pay it off. At the moment, you've got £19k that you can get at whenever you like (although, as you say, you've got your 5k rainy day fund). If it's not costing you anything, then i would just leave it.

    Since its interest free you might as well leave it imo. You might as well put your money to better use rather than paying off a debt that will devalue through time (inflation).
