    Okay, well I can't comment on that specifically as I didn't see it, but it certainly doesn't seem to be the current standard according to my own limited experience recently.

    Note also that the OP could specifically make sure that her policy allowed an overpayment of at least £60, or could save the £60 and make a single payment after the fixed term (which wouldn't be quite as good, but would still make a dent)
    "You did not pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You were lucky enough to come of age at a time when housing was cheap, welfare was generous, and inflation was high enough to wipe out any debts you acquired. I’m pleased for you, but please stop being so unbearably smug about it."

    Hi all, jsut to confirm, I am allowed to overpay by 20% of my regular payment each month with no fee/penalty, so a touch over £80 a month is allowed.
