Bank loan

Mikeyshragh

I have a bank loan for 6 years now. I had to reduce the payments a couple of times out over 5 years again. Is there any way I could write off the loan or offer them a payment to pay off my loan?

You can try but your chances are extremely, extremely slim particularly if you're still paying more than the interest. If they offer any deal they will want to pry in to every single detail of your finances at that.

I'd never use the bank for a loan. U should use the credit Union.

whats the loan for is it secured or unsecured,if you have been paying on time they cant ask for repayment at once

OP, if you want the bank to write off some of your outstanding debt, you're best bet is to go down the Personal Insolvency route. This is the official process for doing just this. You may get lots of different advice on the internet, some bordering on (or blatantly!) criminal, but by pursuing the Personal Insolvency route, you are doing everything right, and nothing "bad" can happen you (there may be a lot of paperwork etc, but that's it). You may not even need to go down the whole route - the fact that you are engaging with the process might result in the bank simply doing a deal with you in advance (as it is a lot cheaper for them to do so in many cases).

Where does he say that? He says that he's had to reduce the payments (presumably with consent from the bank) and is now looking to make a deal to clear / write it off

I'd say a new payment agreement is the more likely outcome myself
