    Hey everyone, i am new to this thread.:hello:

    I have a Northern Rock loan of £15,000 (the only debt i have, except for the mortgage) and would love to chip away at it.
    I have looked at the paperwork (from the people that own it now :rotfl:) and it says that i can make extra payments. At the moment i am paying £180 a month by dd.

    My question is to those with loans (not credit cards)...how do you apply padding? Do you put money into a pot and them pay towards the loan every month or once a year? I haven't rung them yet but are lenders generally ok with small regular top-up payments?

    Check there aren't any penaltys for making extra payments... or any other catch with it. I know mine was ok but not all are. How often you make the repayments to the bank itself is depending on the answer to that question :)

    Ok well in that case, send pennies their way! It's entirely up to you whether you want to collect the money and send it monthly, weekly, yearly. I send my payments daily to the cc as I know it will get spent if I don't :)

  • Another £3.72 for me today please.
  • I *think* the amounts on DDs get confirmed about 3 days before they are due to come out, so you could try extra PADs in those three days if you want to pay extra? Just a thought. xx

    Thanks for that. :) For the last two months I've been waiting for DD to come out and then paying the extra.
