Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems. For help, go to moneyhelper.org.uk.
If you won’t be able to make a payment, call us! On the day of the missed repayment, we’ll send you a text and email to tell you about it. We’ll then try to call you to figure something out.
Unless we’ve come to an agreement, a £10 late fee will be added to your account the day after the missed payment. Interest will continue to accrue at up to the daily capped rate, until you make a repayment or contact us to come to an agreement. Should this continue for a while, the total amount of interest and fees will never exceed the amount you borrowed in the first place. Please call us as soon as you know you’ll be missing a payment, so that we can avoid the £10 late fee.
Yes! One of the best features of a Cashfloat loan is the early repayment option. Of course, we won’t charge you any extra fee or penalty. You can pay off any amount of your loan as early as you wish and save on interest. Already have a loan you want to pay early? Find out how to do it here.
The reason is probably our loans are repaid in instalments. If a non-compounded loan is taken for precisely one period, the interest is linear. So, half the time means half the interest, as can be seen in the following graph:
However, for loans with multiple instalments, things get more complicated. In the beginning, most of the payment goes to cover the interest. Only at the end do the payments go towards the principal. The same rule applies to all the loans in the world, from mortgages to car loans.
The interest is calculated over the remaining of the principal. So, in the beginning, the loan accumulates high interest. As the loan advances, you can see that the diagonal is less and less steep. And a more significant part of the payment goes to cover the principal. For this reason, the beginning of the loan is the expensive part. The more instalments there are, the more this phenomenon is noticeable.
