I have been checking my statements and can see that most are due 1st/2nd May. This isn't a problem for me as I have set up DD to cover the payment so I don't get caught out.
However because Easter falls at the end of April and the added bonus of the Royal wedding bank holiday weekend, those paying by other methods may miss payment deadlines due to the shortened working days over that 10 day period.

Just a thought...

    Thanks, I rang up mine and was told the latest I could make it (for the 30th April) was the 21st.
    The truth is out there... and I want to believe

    That's why I always pay all my bills by direct debit, then you don't ever have to worry!

    good point, luckily i had DD's setup for mine but i suspect loads of people who pay by other means will get caught out by this

    DD set up on everything for me.

    I suspect despite this thread and the fact it is a well known fact that the Royal Wedding means even more of a shorter working week, that there will be several threads from people who will end up with late charges on the forums in early May.

    No doubt most will also blame everyone but themselves for the charges as well.

    no its the lenders fault, we shouldnt have to budget better...anyone would think they didnt need us as customers
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    No DD set up on any of my accounts. I don't miss payments either! Quite easy really :)
