It is mostly likely that when you get the right spreadsheet and enter your values plus the interest rate changes, the bank will be right!!!

i think all banks allow an extra deposit to the loan account which all goes in reducing the principal amount. i hear the trick in avoiding an early repayment penalty is payn off the loan but leavn just enuf to b cleared by one or more monthly instalments. basically the trick is not to pay off everything to zero. never tried this so m not so sure.

Fakir the thing is if interest at 24.75% for dec with 31 days is 17000ksh with balance at 1,150,985 and jan interest is 24.75%, with 31 days and balance now 1,138,678ksh. Interest for jan must be 17000ksh or slightly below because interest remains unchanged at 24.75%. How then do you explain the interest charge of 28000 for jan. the bank says interest is still 24.75% not a single cent more

True dude. I'm not a very clever guy in money matters but i know for sure Banks in Kenya are very vicious. Not sure if such rates exist anywhere in the world. I hear rates are 'capped' in UK, but here in Kenya , its truly 'free market'. And hey, dont touch bbk, even with a long long stick, for loans.

Experienced the same with NBK,i realized though most banks said late last year,they are not going to change the rates for the old loans.They went ahead and did exactly that.They increase the proportion going for interest payment but keep your installment constant. My advise,pay back the loan.To avoid the fine(early payment),just deposit something in your loan account with an aim to reduce the principal to a manageable level.It will definitely, reduce the interest you are paying.

I wouldn't complain too loudly if I were you @Premio. My recomputations show that you should have paid interest of KShs. 23,739.07 in December and Kshs. 23,485.23 in January. My bet is that they were recovering their money when they charged you 28k in Jan and will probably deduct an additional sum in Feb. Simple solution as suggested by McReggae.. go to the bank and make them explain how they came to their figures.

Am beggining to like this bank....13.5% is a new LOW and means they now care MORE about their clients and my issue was sorted out amicably.
