Has anyone re-paid a barclays finance loan early?

Can you make an offer? Credit card debts companies make offers and sometimes get 50-75% discount if they pay a certain amount off immediately.

    Only if you have previously defaulted and have been paying a nominal amount. I've never had a reduced offer to pay off a loan/credit card ever.

    I had Barclays Partner Finance for PCP and paid off a year early with no discount options (as expected).

    Why would they accept an offer of a reduced settlement? They make their money from the interest earned on loans, and a loan running the full term obviously makes them more profit.
    You would, of course, save interest by paying the loan off early.
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

    You can make a offer but you haven't a cat in hells chance of it being accepted.
