You will have to be careful to avoid this scenario as missed payments will not look good on your record with the loan company. Also, don’t forget that if you have a secured loan, your home is at risk if you do not keep up repayments.

You will be able to choose your monthly repayment date at the beginning of the agreement – and that will remain the same unless negotiated otherwise. It’s a good idea to set your repayment date as a few days after you get paid, as then you know the funds will be cleared in your account in time for the loan repayment. If the date falls a few days before you get paid there is the risk that the money won’t be there. If you change jobs and your payday changes contact your loan company to see if you can change the repayment date.

 

Risk Warning
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any debt secured on it. Security by way of a charge on your home may be required.
Think carefully before securing other debts to your home.
