Simple...an arrear is a debt for which you should have paid £x and simply haven't. That is, you are behind in your payments.Baby Year 1: Oh dear...on the move

Give them a call and ask them. I should take them less than 10 seconds to explain it to you.Baby Year 1: Oh dear...on the move

My guess is that you have to may this month's £300 but also have to pay them £200 for payments you have missed from earlier months i.e. you need to pay £500.
They will have reported your late payment(s) to the credit reference agencies which means that any other lender who you apply to will see you have missed some payments. This may affect your future ability to get credit.
As everyone else has said ... phone them because they can tell you what they mean whereas we can only guess. Don't run away from it. Find out where you stand and do it now.
