Hi ALL,

I need your valued assistance.

I am servicing a bank loan of 280k at 14% interest. I find that the balance is reducing too slowly ( due to high interest). I have the option of letting my Company sacco buy the loan but will charge me 5% of the outstanding balance. The bank will aslo penalise me (5%) for early repayment. My advantage is that I will enjoy lower interest rate (12%) and smaller monthly repayments. This will leave me with more money to invest elsewhere.

Please help me before I blunder.

14% is not so bad. I'd continue with the bank. I bet if you do your calculations using 280k the difference (if any) is not that much.
