secure debt want to repay quicker

Hi, we took out a 55k secured loan about 10yrs ago on a 25year repayment with endeavour- big mistake i was only 20

This has been sold on to another company who is managing it when they closed endeavor. I am not in arrears but I need to pay this off asap really.

I'm not sure how to go about it, I currently pay £270pm. I was thinking if they would accept 25k as full and final, I know its secured and they don't have to but if they did I can get a loan that I can repay in about 5years. other option is to repay more each month effectively clearing the borrowed amount quicker??

I'm not sure of best procedure, we have a Halifax mortgage of about 60k that's not in arrears. How can I approach the situation as I do not want to pay this for the next 15years.

Consolidating both loan and mortgage is not an option for me unfortunately.

thanks for your time reading.
