Overpayments
An overpayment, also known as an extra payment, is when you make a payment on top of your usual monthly payment.
- You can make extra payments online between 8am to 10pm.
- You can make extra payments online up to £30,000 at a time. If you want to pay more, you can make a bank transfer.
- You can settle your agreement instead if the extra payment is more than you have left to pay.
- There are no fees and charges for making extra payments.
- If you choose to reduce your monthly payments, your new payment amount won't be taken for 2 months - carry on with your usual monthly payments until it updates.
- You can’t make an extra payment in the 5 days before your Direct Debit is due.
Making an overpayment could mean you pay less interest. This only happens if interest was added. The amount may be small if you overpay later in your agreement. If you make an overpayment, we’ll write to you to explain what this means for your agreement.
