It's about $1,700 interest a year which is almost $150. However, looking over some of the reports on this company indicates they have a lousy track record of posting payments. You may want to file a complaint with the Attorney General on this dog.

You said they were holding the extra payments (which is stupid on their part, but they are doing it to drive your interest up playing like they are dumb). More than likely, your normal payments are almost what your interest are per month. Interest is around $1,300 a year on $8,000 principal, so the interest is around $108 and would gradually go down if you're making normal payments. You did tell them to apply the extra payments you already made to the principal, I hope?
