Co-Op Overpayments past 10%

Wondering if anyone can help me. I'm lucky enough to be in a position that I've paid our 10% OP allowance with the Co-Op for the year. I have next years already lines up, but some months I have the occasional few pounds that I'd like to pay off. As anyone done this and not been changed the ERC.
When I was with IF I used to make regular OP's of under £100 and due to the "low" value of the transactions they didn't charge me the ERC. So was wondering if anyone had successfully done this with the Co-Op.
Unfortunately I can't see transational information online with the Co-Op on the mortgage balance so it would only be when I get my annual statement that I'd see if they actually charged me or not and I don't want to risk it (however low value it is)
Thanks

I've no idea about the Co-Op Welshlassie, with Skipton I am charged the ERC if I go over the 10% by a penny I think! Might be worth ringing them about the low transaction value? I've never come across that before.Life is changing...but I'm still Money Saving!0

I know for a couple of months back in 2008 ish, I overpaid by more than the £500 that Nationwide let you overpay, and there was no penalty to be seen.
Didn't risk it too many times though and have no idea why we weren't charged.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010
