I received a statement today from the finance company I have my car through, it states that on 01/03/13 my outstanding balance was the sum of one monthly payment, which came out of my bank on Tuesday. But... According to my online banking the direct debit payments are due until 01/06/13. Should I cancel the DD thinking it's all paid off or let it run its course until June?
Let it run its course. If they continue to take the money then call them to ask why if the letter says something else. Its not worth defaulting on the payment.
Just leave it, they've said when it ends so it should finish as they shouldn't try to take another payment.
It's a standing order, not a direct debit(as I previously stated). That will come out regardless, won't it?
I think that will, in which case, if you are sure of the date and that the last payment has gone then cancel it.
If it is a standing order then that means that you are sending money to them whereas a direct debit means the finance company is withdrawing money from your account. So, if you are sure your last payment is up, then contact your bank and cancel it.
Late on a Saturday night and now on a Sunday morning? I think it's too much of a challenge to guess any of their home phone numbers.
Or I could get the opinion from a group of people who I know have individuals who work in the financial world? Just a thought, but don't let that stop you. Want me to pick your dummy up for you, love?
