    icon7.gifLoan Interest: Can Anyone Work It Out For Me?
    Hi,

    In the summer we took out an RBS personal loan of £22,000 over 7 years at 8.58% APR

    The redemption penalty is stated in the T&C as 58 days interest calculated on a daily basis on the outstanding balance however, at the time we managed to get that down to 28 days because we knew we would shortly be paying it off in full. This change was confirmed by letter at the time.

    Now we want to pay it off but I am convinced we are being charged the full 58 days of interest.

    The bank is 'not able' to tell me what the daily interest amount is and 3 different departments have automatically generated the same redemption figure

    Please can anyone tell me if this redemption figure is correct:

    Loan amount: £22,000 / 7 years / 8.58% APR

    Redemption figure: £21,809.47

    Monthly payment: £349.83 / 3 payments made

    No PPI taken out

    Cheers

    Marshallka is the person best to sort figures out but I would say after paying 3 payments and actually owing less than you borrowed it is a good deal usually they front load the interest and you are left owing more than you borrowed for at least 12 months.

    That is my input you are so lucky you are not having the I believe 78 rule.

    Marshallka will help on a more sensible note.:D

    I don't think the interest is frontloaded, it's calculated on a daily basis

    Precisely that is why I am saying I would take it. If you queried it you would get small amounts back probably have to Go to FOS and then wait 18 months for them to pay up small amounts.

    Just put it down to experience and move on.

    That is just my opinion although am sure Marshallka as I said before can sort figures out for you.:T

    For anyone who missed this petition earlier, I will add again.
    If your interested please sign.

    Here is the info on that petition: Petition below the info.

    More details from petition creator

    Despite tight regulations by the FSA, Loan companies are still selling costly payment protection insurance to consumers. this product can be purchased independant of any loan at a far reduced cost, and without any conflict of interest. How can a loan company with insurance targets be trusted to sell an appropriate product to a consumer, when their is such temptation to steer them into buying a product that has the greatest financial gain for the commission based salesperson. Working within the industry I am aware of how inflated the premiums are, and how salespeople are still selling PPI in such a way that makes it hard for customers to say
