What happens if I miss a payment?

A missed payment is a scheduled repayment that is not made by its due date. Even a single missed payment can have consequences, so it is worth understanding what it means and acting quickly.

What it can lead to

Depending on your agreement, a missed payment may attract a charge, be recorded against the company, and, if it continues, push the account into arrears. The detail is set out in your facility terms.

The most important step

The single best thing you can do is talk to your lender as early as possible, ideally before the payment is missed. Lenders generally have far more options when they know in advance.

  • A missed payment is a payment not made on time.
  • Consequences depend on your specific agreement.
  • Early contact opens up more options.
