I am paying £150 per month from 1st June with a balance outstanding of £1500 currently.
How is the final payment calculated and account closed? Anyone been in this position.
Also, with interest of 6.9%/7.3% plan 2? - how much above 1500 will I be effectively be paying to include interest?
I am hoping it is paid off within a year?

In my head calculation would be about £70 of interest.
Do you have £1500 to spare at the moment? if so, you could pay it all off now and stop the DD.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
