Tie a payment to a loan account

[luvmeirahbug]

I think that there should be a feature that allows you to tie a payment to a loan or credit card account. It would be nice to show the decreasing balance until it is paid off, rather than having to go in and change the amount owed on the loan manually. It is encouraging to see a decreasing debt balance!!

If both the loan and payment are being conducted with accounts that are linked in Mint then Mint handles everything for you. If the loan is not in an account that is automated with Mint then you have the problem of identifying the principle amount of the payment and having that decrease the open loan amount.
