Payments are collected automatically. You can also make a manual payment through your account or contact us.
Can I pay early?
Yes, you can repay your loan in full or make early payments anytime without penalties.
What happens if I miss a payment?
If you miss a payment, we’ll contact you to let you know and to offer support.
What may happen includes:
- A late payment fee: If a payment due date is missed, a one-off late payment fee of £15 may be applied. This fee will only be charged once during the lifetime of your loan.
- Contact from us: We may try to contact you to let you know a payment has been missed and to understand if you need support. Contact may be made by email, SMS, phone call, and/or letter.
- Support if you’re struggling: If you’re experiencing financial difficulty, help is available. Reach out to us at info@monixa.co.uk, on 0330 027 0685 or online via our live chat option. We’re here Monday to Friday, 08:00 - 17:00. You can also find further resources in the ‘Need Help?’ tab in your account. Alternatively, you can also get free, independent support from MoneyHelper.org.uk, a government-backed service that offers confidential guidance on managing money and debt.
- Credit file impact: Missed payments may be recorded on your credit file. If arrears continue, this could lead to a default being recorded. If a default were to be registered, we would write to you in advance to let you know and provide you with time to resolve your arrears to prevent this from happening. Please be aware that information recorded on your credit file may make it more difficult to access affordable credit in the future.
- Debt collection agency: If arrears remain unresolved over time, we may pass your account to a third-party debt collection agency to help manage your account. If this were to happen, we would let you know in advance.
Full details of fees, charges, and how missed payments are handled are set out in your credit agreement.
Are there any fees or charges I should be aware of?
We aim to be clear and transparent about any fees or charges on your loan. With Monixa, the costs you may pay include:
- Interest, which is charged in line with the rate set out in your credit agreement and pre-contract information
- A one-off late payment fee of £15, which is only charged if a payment due date is missed, and will only be applied once during the lifetime of your loan
We do not charge repeated late fees or hidden charges. Full details of interest, fees, and charges are provided in your credit agreement.
If you’re experiencing financial difficulty or are worried about charges, support is available. Reach out to us at info@monixa.co.uk, on 0330 027 0685 or online via our live chat option.

Will contacting you affect my credit file?
No. Contacting us to discuss your account or ask for support does not affect your credit file.
Your credit file is only affected by how your account is managed, such as whether payments are made on time or if arrears continue. Getting in touch early can help us look at support options and may reduce potential impacts on your credit file.
What information will you ask for if I tell you I’m struggling?
If you tell us you’re struggling, we may ask a few questions to understand your situation so we can offer appropriate support.
This might include:
- Basic information about your income and essential outgoings
- Any changes in your circumstances that are affecting your ability to pay
We’ll only ask for information that is relevant and necessary, and you’re not required to share anything you’re uncomfortable with.
How long does information stay on my credit file?
Information about missed payments or defaults can remain on your credit file for up to six years from the date it is recorded.
The impact of this information may reduce over time, especially if your account is brought back up to date and managed well going forward.

Yes, you can have someone help you speak to us or act on your behalf if you’d find that helpful.
This could be:
- A family member or friend
- A debt adviser or support organisation
We’ll just need your permission before we can discuss your account with them. We can explain how to provide this when you contact us.
