    Just pay off that safety net one asap and you will be fine.
    £150 a month interest is shocking tbh!
    It is. Over 200% a year.

    Sending even an extra £20 a month would cut this to a year, instead of rolling on indefinitely. Or an extra £50 a month would kill it in 8. £100 or more, even better.
  • If you can make repayment of £350 a month, just use this to clear the safetynet balance and it will be gone in a few months.
