Hi,

Normally you use the amount of payments you have left and offer those. Don't call it a settlement, just a full and final offer. Where would the money be coming from?

As Kallis says --- a full and final amount is based on the number of payments remaining (plus 12 if there is equity to be addressed) multiplied by the current monthly payment. Depending on the time saved this could be rounded down a little. (A settlement figure, as Kallis alludes, is a different thing, being the balance of the full original debt, plus fees and possible statutory interest ).
