It is not permissible to pay off interest-based usurious increase imposed on you with another interest-based usurious increase that is due to you, because usury is an ill-gotten gain that must be disposed of through various charitable avenues. It is not permissible to benefit from it under any circumstances. Repentance from usury is advised.
