What happens if I miss a payment?
We know that a payment can be missed for many reasons and normally NLL will simply send a second request to your bank or accept a payment over the counter. We don’t believe in unnecessary fees but in some limited circumstances charges will be applied. These help to keep our membership rates down and ensure all of our membership terms and conditions are met. To find out admin charges and how to avoid them, please click here
