Hi 
I have a couple of loans and i am now able to pay them back in full, i was just wondering if i pay back in full or would it be best to make a large overpayment so the following month the direct debit would be the final payment.
I only ask to see what is best for saving on interest.
Thank you

    Depends on what your credit agreement says about making overpayments or settlement of the entire loan.  If the lender charges you on overpayments or settlement then just clear it all.
