You could, if you like, repay your loan early. To do so you will need a settlement quote. This can be obtained by contacting RCI Financial Services on 08444 823826. The calculation of the settlement figure varies depending on the type of agreement you have and when it was signed.



If you have an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 this will be clearly stated on the agreement itself (Regulated Agreement). Settlement figures for Regulated Agreements are calculated in accordance with the Consumer Credit (Early Settlement) Regulations 1983 if your agreement was signed before 31 May 2005, and under the 2005 regulations for all other Regulated Agreements.



On early settlement, the amount of interest you pay will generally be less than you would have paid if the loan had run its full course. The closer you are to the end of your loan term, the smaller the interest saving will be if you settle early. The FLA has a leaflet which explains the calculations in full. A copy is available at www.fla.org.uk or from the FLA on 020 7836 6511.
