Hi.
currently have a secured loan with endeavour for 36k at 9.9% over 25 years am 2 years in. it will cost 42k to settle.
i have searched for a cheaper loan and i can get a 42k loan over 20 years with relax finance at 8.1%
does it make sense to swap as its costing me so much to clear the endevour loan?-however it is 2 years less im paying?
Please could a mathematical genius help me out here.
thanks.

    hang on
    theres something here I dont get shamu

    If you have a loan for 36 why is it turning into being 42

    How much will it cost to settle that?
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Apparently thats the settlement figure give or take a couple of hundred. i cant figure out why its so much either.
    Relax finance reckons that the figure should be £41k but i dont get why at all?
    I will have the exact figures by the end of the week.
