    Hi, wonder if anyone can help. Ive been overpaying by cheque or phone to Cheltenham & Gloucester over the past year but have stopped for a few months, does anyone know if I can just walk into Lloyds and op at the counter? We took the mortgage out with Lloyds.

    Congrats to all the OP's this year - your all doing so well :)

    Xx

    #124 reporting a £500 OP in May, nothing paid in April :(

    Still, we've OP'd £1000 since starting the mortgage in February, and have brought our monthly payments done by £5, so feels like we've achieved something!!

    The latest weekly update has been done - links in the first post. I've tested both and they're working so hopefully all can access one or both.

    We've now collectively paid more than £260,000! Amazing effort - well done all.

  • Kitjos - yes I believe you can pay in the bank. If you telephone C&G and ask for their bank details you can also make a payment online.

    Hi, OP of £110 for May, I'm number 109. Not sure if I'll manage an overpayment next month as tutoring work is finishing, but exam marking is starting so looking forward to a big OP in July or August! Thanks for your hard work.

    Thanks for the reply :). I've managed to get an online account with lloyds so I can now see mortgage balance etc, but can't see a way I could overpay :/. We have no other accounts with lloyds, would getting a current account alow me to transfer funds as an overpayment or do you know where to click if I get C&G's details? Thanks for your help, im chuffed ive managed to get online! :D x
