Swift Finance

Hi
I have a loan with Swift Finance and wonder if anyone else has had dealings with them.  I have tried to get a settlement deal but it is no better than what I will be paying over the full term of the loan.  I took out a loan with them for £12k out in 2008 and will have paid £40K+ by the end of the predicted term which is 2032.  I have tried The Ombudesman but as the original loan was taken out over 6 years ago there is nothing they can do.
I just wondered if anyone had any experience of Swift and have been able to shorten the term or get a settlement fee, as it's an obscene interest rate and loan which I'm now trying to sort and get on top of.
