Early settlement rebate

I took out a loan with my bank just over 4 months ago and made payments on time every month etc.

I got an early settlement figure from my bank stating that if I repaid the £2794.58 owing I would get a loan rebate of just over £1000 does this in term mean I would get that money back.?

Regardless I have paid off the final figure it would just be nice to know what the rebate is and if I get that money back for making early repayment in full.

  • The settlement figure would already reflect any saving in interest.

    the £1,000 is the saving you make by paying it off now v's continuing to make payments until the end of the loan term
  • The rebate is what you would have paid in interest had the loan run to its full length.

    You won't get a £1k cheque in your hot little hands.
