Yes. You can make additional payments outside your payment schedule. This will mean that the total cost of your loan will be less, as you are only paying interest for the days that you have the loan. To make any additional payments, call us. Make sure you have the card you are using to pay with you when you make the call. Scotcash understand that emergencies and unexpected costs can happen, and if you need to, a repayment holiday can be set up by contacting us. You should note that this will extend your loan term and result in additional interest.
If you repay your loan earlier than the initial agreed payment term, you will end up paying less, as there will be less interest for you to pay. This is because with a Scotcash loan, you are only paying for the interest for each day you have the loan.
Your repayment schedule is included in your loans package – the information that you are provided with when your loan is approved. You can also login to your account on our website.
You can log into your online account to see your balance outstanding, what payments you have made, your next payment date and amount as well as upload documents.
Defaults or missed payments do not incur a charge or fee by Scotcash but your Bank may make a charge. If you miss a repayment, you will be contacted by a member of our team to see if we can help. Understanding your situation helps us to make your repayment arrangements as easy as possible, and knowing when a customer may need to take a repayment holiday is included in this. If the term of your loan is extended either through a missed payment or a payment holiday you will pay additional interest.
Payments are taken from your bank account by direct debit. If you are looking to make additional repayments, you can do so by using our bank details noted below or call us to pay by the debit card you have your direct debits set up on.
