Right, just spoken to Tesco. I can make overpayments without any penalties! :T
Also, my settlement figure as of today is £10,687.69 which makes me feel a bit better as it's £830 cheaper than letting it run it's course. Obviously the longer it takes me to pay, the less that £830 becomes!
But by pure random maths :rotfl: I guessing that the 'rebate' reduces by about £28 a month on the basis of the current rebate divided by the term left of the loan!
So at £1,000 a month it will be paid off in December! At £1,500 a month, it will be September ish! At £2,000 a month it will be July. And July is gonna be my target! Roughly! :rolleyes: 0 -

Well it's all dependant on different scenarios.
Worst case is paying my set £1k a month which will be January 2009. If/when I make more from matched betting it will bring it forward but it's not guaranteed! :undecided0
