Close Brothers will re-attempt to collect the payment from your bank, usually within ten working days, along with their standard £25 default fee. You'll be notified about this second collection request. If this payment is successful you don't need to do anything else.
If the second collection attempt is unsuccessful, you need to make a card payment within a time frame that Close Brothers will provide.
If the payment is missed for any reason other than insufficient funds, Close Brothers will notify you by post, and the RAC will text you (if you have provided a valid mobile number.) You'll need to make a card payment for the missed collection and the £25 default fee within the time frame provided by Close Brothers.
You can make this payment by logging into their online portal or calling their 24-hour payment line on 0333 321 8566. Please ensure you have your account reference number which can be found on any correspondence Close Brothers have sent to you.

There is a £25.00 default fee as per your credit agreement with PremFina, and they usually attempt to collect the payment again within 7-10 days (if they have valid bank details.) They'll send an additional arrears reminder if this attempt is unsuccessful.
They'll also supply a ‘last chance date’ to make payment before the finance agreement is terminated (if the second payment attempt detailed above fails).
If you'd like to make payment, you can do so via the PremFina payment portal or refer to your documents for the contact number. You'll need your agreement number, which can be found on any correspondence from PremFina.

Most of our policies can be paid upfront in one lump sum payment by credit or debit card or monthly, via a credit agreement with our finance partner. When you get a quote for your insurance, you’ll be presented with all the different payment options that are available to you. Please note by opting to pay by monthly instalments, you’ll enter into a credit agreement which will cost you more.
If you get a payment error when trying to buy online, it may be because your card provider is trying to authorise the payment. We recommend you look out for a text, email or message on your banking app before trying the payment again.
