Why Was I Charged £25? 💷

A £25 default fee is applied by the finance provider when a scheduled Direct Debit payment is missed.

This fee is applied by the finance provider whenever a scheduled Direct Debit payment is not successfully collected on the agreed date 💳

We know that managing payments can sometimes be challenging — whether due to timing or bank-side issues. In these cases, the finance company applies a default fee to cover the cost of the failed collection and their administrative processing.

Important: This fee is set and charged by the finance provider — our brokerage has no involvement in applying it, and we do not profit from it in any way. 🙅‍♀🙅‍♂  To resolve this fee, you'll need to contact your premium finance provider. They handle your monthly instalments and will be able to assist you further.
