Even at 0% you can't pay back 14k over 10 years at £80/month.
So either it's not 14k, or it's a different term or a different interest rate or whatever.0 -

Stop thinking in terms of 'per month' and think in terms of 'interest rate', 'total amount', 'number of years'
Taken when? The rates were MUCH lower several months ago.aayush said:friend taken a similar when where his only 80 a month and i am paying 170 a month?1 -

You need to know the full details; how much owing; interest rate, length of term, repayment or interest only
the answer will be in the details
my guess would be your friends is interest only 🤔MFW 2025 #50: £1989.73/£600007/03/25: Mortgage: £67,000.00

Why does it matter what your friend is paying yours is £170 per month - he may have steak for Tea, but its not really gonna effect what you ate.1
