Hi,
I've requested this morning a balance on a loan account so that I can pay it off. What I've always wondered about in relation to interest is the following:
The loan was for 7,500 over four years, interest about 6.5% or thereabouts, amounting to 1,957 giving a loan total of 9532. Now we've been paying 193 for the last 27 months so the amount outstanding is 4,400 (roughly).
Now that we're paying it off after 2 and a bit years should the interest not be recalculated as we're no longer holding it for the original four years?
And secondly, they're claiming a "fee" of two months payments for closing it early even though the only mention on the original agreement is for a €75 admin fee (which is fair enough) for early termination.
