Hi all, looking to pull from peoples experience here. I have an existing CU Loan that I have been paying off for a couple of years. Does anyone know if it would be possible to "top up" the loan back to the original amount that I borrowed or does the loan balance have to be cleared and start over with a fresh loan? Thanks

Talk to your CU. Each may have its own T & Cs but should be fine to top up a loan if it is all in order.

It'd probably depend on how much the outstanding balance is. If you've been making all your repayments on time then it couldn't hurt to ask. I topped up a CU loan after about 6 months because we had an unexpected expense (car trouble) and when we explained the circumstances we got the top up without any trouble.
