Curry's Credit - How do I pay the balance?

I'm not sure if I'm being really stupid, but I can't work out how to pay the remainding balance of my curry's interest free credit before the 9 months runs out.
I have the credit agreement - with HFC Bank - which happily tells me that if I don't pay before the 9th payment date I will pay interest on the whole amount, but it doesn't tell me how to pay. I have never recieved a statement. The DD entry on my bank account has an Account Number (as does the credit agreement), but no sort code, and my internet banking doesn't recognise the account number as valid for either HFC or curry's. There is no phone number on the Credit Agreement to call.
I realise the easiest way round this is to phone the call centre (0870 number which closes at 6pm before I get home from work!), but surely this is a cunning trick to make sure people forget or are too confused/lazy to find out how to pay and end up paying almost as much in interest as they do for the original purchase? Or am I just being cynical?
If anyone has managed to pay currys can you let me know how you did it?
Thanks
