Repayments
You can help to minimise the amount of interest you pay in the following ways:
1. Setting up a Direct Debit.
2. Making at least the minimum monthly payment.

Paying more than the minimum monthly repayment. This means you’ll be charged less interest and you’ll repay what you owe more quickly.
