Last payment of a loan

Hi

I took out a £10,000 halifax personal loan and the repayment's £450.35 a month paid by direct debit. However I have been overpaying this loan by £550 a month by standing order and now I'm down to £779.69

What is the best way to pay this to clear it off next month?

when the £450.35 comes off then in theory it will be £329.34 left to pay and I suppose I could alter my standing order for this amount. However with interest added to the loan I doubt if this will be the correct amount...or will it?

any help appreciated thanks

    Pay it in one lump sum and then claim back the overpayment if there is any after a week?
