I don't believe you would be able to pay it with a debit card, they won't have the facility for this."You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0

They don't. They're hopeless. My family member is still trying to pay them back, nearly ten months after she got her job.0

Hi there, the link you provided is information about a UC credit advance this is totally different to a " Budgeting Advance " .Confusing I know but its the Budgeting adavnce I want to know about paying back early using a credit/debit card to clear the small balance so I can get a new Budgeting Advance as I will be then eliigible as I have no previous outstanding Budgeting Advance amount. Hope it is all clear.
Cheers!!
So does that mean you could get both, a budgeting advance and a credit advance? The one my family member is finding hard to get them to accept any payment for may be something else again - a hardship payment, they call it.0
