Early Settlement
A Personal Loan Agreement can be settled at any time by the customer by paying the balance of finance outstanding to the lender. The lender may allow the customer a rebate of the interest if the outstanding finance balance is settled before the agreement end date. If it is a Personal Loan Agreement regulated by the FCA, then the minimum amount of rebate will be set out in the FCA's rules. You can make additional payments & receive a corresponding reduction in interest.
End of the agreement
A Personal Loan Agreement ends once all the contracted payments have been made. It has no effect on the ownership of the vehicle.
Voluntary Termination
There are no voluntary termination rights on a Personal Loan Agreement.
