What fees and charges could I face?

We may charge 1% per month (minimum €1.25) on any overdue amount. This charge will be debited and compounded in the same way as the interest charge.

Important information: 

Missed payment data will be reported to the Central Credit Register (CCR) as required by law. This may affect your future ability to borrow.

 

 

How can I avoid these fees and charges?

You can avoid fees and charges by keeping your repayments up to date. If you’re having difficulties with your repayments, please call our dedicated Arrears Support team on the number above. We want to help.

 

What Happens if You Don’t Address your Arrears?

Fees and interest may apply, increasing the outstanding debt you owe.

Your Credit Report may be affected, which may limit your ability to borrow in the future.

Your debt may be outsourced to a debt collection agency.

The Bank may take legal action against you in relation to the outstanding debt. In such circumstances, in addition to the outstanding debt, you may also be liable to pay the Bank’s legal costs and outlays in relation to the preparation and progression of any legal proceedings.
