Yes you can make one or more purchases from one or more retailers up to the maximum amount you are eligible for.
Yes, you can pay off early without any additional fees or charges. You will only pay the balance owed on the date you make the payment. You can do this by logging into your humm portal and making a once-off payment for the amount of your outstanding balance.
If you need to return the goods, you do this through the normal retailer process. The retailer will then cancel the purchase, and this will process a cancellation of your loan agreement. The cancellation of the agreement will process a refund of any sums paid back to your bank card.
If a payment is unsuccessful on the due date we will send you an SMS and an email to advise of the unsuccessful payment and provide ways for you to make the payment.
If the payment is not made on the due date we will automatically retry for the payment on the next day.
If the second attempt to claim the payment is unsuccessful a £7 late payment fee is applied to your Loan agreement and becomes due and payable along with the contractual payment.
At this time, we will not make any further attempts to process the payment and send you communications by various methods to contact you to discuss your missed payment and your financial circumstances. If we do not get a response from our attempts to contact you we will look to make 2 further attempts to process the payment from your bank card. These attempts will be made 5 days and 10 days after the due date.
