HFC laptop loan

Hi,

I took out my loan for a laptop with 12 months interest free. I have now saved enough money up to pay it all off. Has anyone had any experiences paying off loans with HFC?

They have given me an account number and sort code for payments to the loan and I was wondering if I can send the full amount through that online?

Or should I write a cheque and send it in the post??


Thanks

Tom

    Hi

    Yes I paid one off early about eighteen months ago - I phoned up customer services to do mine, easy peasy :)

    Good luck - and well done! :)

    Make sure it clears well before the Interst free date ends. Otherwise the back track the interest to day one. So the 3 years you pay is actually 4 years of interest.

    I used to work for a HighStreet chain that used them.

    I prefered the option of telephone banking transfer. That way it show on my statement and you can see the reference it goes to. Also the post isn't a delaying factor. Call HFC and ask for telephone banking transfer details
