Pay off your loan early

Before you can pay off your loan before the end of its term, you'll need to ask us for a settlement figure.

There are no charges for making overpayments or settling your loan early.

Settlement figures

A settlement figure is the amount left to pay, including any interest. It’s valid for 28 days and we won’t add any interest during this time.

If you decide not to pay off your loan early, we’ll add the interest that would have applied during the 28 days to your loan.

Understanding your settlement figure

Your balance might be lower than your settlement figure because of a Direct Debit payment you’ve made.

A Direct Debit could still go out after you get a settlement figure and before you pay off your loan. This will reduce the amount you owe and make your balance lower.

If this happens, you can either:

  • deduct the Direct Debit amount from your settlement figure when you pay off your loan, or
  • wait 8 days after settling your account and we’ll refund you.

Pay off your loan

Once you have your settlement figure, you have 28 days to pay off the loan.

Note:

You cannot use a credit card to pay off your loan.
