  • When you say settlement figure I'm guessing you would like to pay it off? If you ring them up they will give you balance and an estimate of interest due to be taken the month after, I would pay over this figure just in case of a miscalculation, any credits remaining can be transferred to your current account which takes 2 hours or up to 3 working days.
  • hi yes im looking to pay it off and been told if i ask for the settlement figure my current balance is not what i pay it will be less??is that right?

    depends on what stage your account is, if defaulted you can offer a lower amount but they dont have to accept.
