I paid off my loans for six months. VS. I paid off my loans over six months. VS. I paid off my loans during six months.

I think that they are synonymous in this case. What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

Anonymous...I paid off my loans for six months. Emotion: no Then what did you do? That sentence does not convey the meaning that you paid off all your loans.
I paid off my loans over six months. Emotion: yes
I paid off my loans during six months. Emotion: no It's as bad as the first one.

Thank you so much and I am confused now that this, "I paid off my loans over six months. Does this mean I paid my loans more than six months. It also mean I paid all my loans. Correct me if am wrong please." is what canadian45 said or shravanmm's question?

This means I paid all the money ('off' = completely) and I did it within a 6-month period.
