When to pay?? 🤔

jonowag

I've been struggling for years to get my head around credit card repayments. I know you have to pay IN FULL at the end of each month but is that calender month or payment cycle month 🤔 

Trying to improve my credit score so I've got a statement day of the 16th but the payment isn't due for 28 days after the statement date. I know the statement is the sum shown on your credit report.

Someone help me please. Thank you.

You pay once you get the statement and before the due date shown on the statement.

Don't worry what your credit score is.  You just want to build a good history of credit management.

If you intend to pay in FULL each month (as is best to if you can) - then set up a direct debit to do it for you automatically - and then you won't have to worry about being a day early or a day late.

Each monthly statement will show the exact date you have to pay before. The date will vary slightly from month to month.
