Got in trouble with the corporate card

Hi,
I have a HSBC corporate card issued to me by the company. The company does not mind the staff using it for personal purposes as long as we do not claim it and pay the bill. I never used it for personal purposes until now. Due to an emergency and lack of savings to cover it, I used it and now will struggle to settle the full amount (£1020).

My question is would HSBC allow me to paid this in 2 or 3 installments? I already had a word with my manager, as he is aware of the emergency, he has no problems with that. Would HSBC allow it or corporate cards need to be paid in full?
I am just wondering if anyone has experienced the same before I contact HSBC.

    The one i have issued from work , the full balance paid off every month by DD . I think you may need to speak to your accounts department @ head office.

    Hope this helps

    It may be that your company will pay it off in full and then you can pay back the company.

    Ours is done in full by DD every month. You might have to get your manager to have a word with Finance for you too?
