Hi, there is probably nothing I can do about this, but it makes me feel ill so I thought it was worth asking....

 

I took out a loan in mid 2010 for £13k to clear some credit cards.

 

Yep, totally stupid and I of course ran the credit cards up again.

Lesson learnt and now in a DMP with Stepchange.

 

The loan was with HSPF and had front loaded interest at a SCARY rate.

 

I knew this but at the time I was desperate.

 

I kidded myself that when an old account fell off my credit report the following year

it would improve my credit rating and I could repay with a loan at a better rate

and get a rebate on the interest.

 

the £13K loan entered my credit report with an opening balance of £24,536 :-x

 

I ran into problems about 18 months into the 7 yr agreement and they finally defaulted me in December 2012.

 

At the start of my DMP I had a debts of £43.5K, with £11.5 being the interest on this loan.

 

A very expensive mistake.

 

My debts are now £28.5K and being paid off at £613 per month via stepchange

- just under £17K remains on this loan, so they've had almost £8k out of me so far.

 

I will pay my DMP for an 18 months just to pay off the interest on this loan.

 

I am so angry with myself for taking this bloody loan in the first place.

 

Is there ANYTHING I can do about the interest?

 

If it was not front-loaded I know the interest would have stopped when I was defaulted

- I guess that is why they front load.

 

And I guess this is all above board,

 

and yes I know I signed for it etc.

 

Just asking, because it makes me so cross with myself!

My understanding is that no rebate is due where a loan is defaulted. However the law may have changed so,it's worth checking. If you are able to get some money together later on the lender may accept a settlement of a lower amount in such circumstances. Who knows?

 

Given the size of your overall debt have you taken advice as to whether an IVA may be appropriate? Step change can advise.
