    Amigo don't have any extra charges for overpayment or early settlement, so if you overpay it - even by a little - especially early in the term, then you will save a lot of interest charges.

    The Amigo radio ads talk cheerily about an APR of 49.9%. I'm all for free markets but I honestly think that should be illegal.

    Since the OP in this instance doesn't seem to have checked the APR before signing, they've probably been quite fortunate to get away with 'only' 49.9%.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Maybe the OP should turn that frown upside down and become happy, happy, happy like Codymcmc.

    Codymcmc was very happy, I think he works for Stride Financial - just a guess.
