Paying off a loan early

Is it not in your contract/T&C's0

I no idea where it is , does intrest useally get deducted when paying a loan off early?0
-
No interest will be deducted as most loans these days charge daily interest on personal loans and apply it monthly.
Where you save is that you will not be charged any further interest on the outstanding amount that you repay.
You need to ask for a redemption figure - beware there probably will be an early settlement fee of about 2 months interest.
There are ways around this.0 -
Hi im thinking of paying of my loan 2 years early I was wondering how much intrerst would get deducted from the loan if I did this?
you save money by paying early
the amount rather depends upon the amount of your current debt and the APR of the loan
easy to find out however
1. current total payment will be = monthly payment x number of payments left
2. ask for a settlement figure (get it in writing)
3. then compare the two figures0
