Every two weeks? You in the US or Canada? Which state or province?
The best answer anyone can offer is to psy it off as fast as you can.

Your math is bad. Loans amortize and accrue interest daily.
You pay 25% per year not in total.
Your only option is to yeet every extra dollar you have at the loan

Where is the suckered part? Did they forge the documents or change them after you signed the documents? How did they sucker you?

Your assumption that interest is a percentage of the loan amount is incorrect. The interest rate is annual. Each month, you’re paying 1/12th of 25% interest on the remaining balance.
The best way out of this is to pay every extra cent you have toward the loan principle.

What would the math be? 12,000*25.99%=3110 3110/12=259? Meaning 259 in interest per month? Is that normal?

Wordplay mostly, something like a yoyo deal to “better suit me”

Interest is accrued daily.
Each days interest is 25.99% * 1/365 * remaining balance
So that first month, it was about $8.54 per day
