Take control of your repayments
There are two ways we can do the repayments. Whatever works best for you - it's your call.
- When you borrow from Lending Stream we set up automatic repayments so that you’ll never miss a payment. We take out the amount each month on a specified date (and we’ll remind you when we’re about to do it, so it’s not a surprise).
- You can also make individual payments online in your account at any time. You can also call us on 0203 808 4440#
We'll help make sure you know what you're doing throughout as well. We'll keep in contact with you with information about how to avoid problems and help keep your financial position positive.

How does continuous payment authority work?
Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) is a way of making payments on your loan. It means you give us permission to collect payments automatically from the bank account that's linked to your debit card. This is set up when you apply and can help you avoid missed payments.
You can cancel CPA at any time by asking us or contacting your bank. If you do so, you'll need to arrange payments in a different way, such as online payments via the Lending Stream website or a standing bank order. If your loan payment is outstanding, please contact us so we can help you set something else up.
What loan fees do you charge?
The only fees we charge are for late payments. We will apply a late payment fee to your account if you miss a payment on the date it is due unless you have spoken to us in advance to make us aware that your payment will be late.
We will never charge more than £12 in late payment fees over the lifetime of your loan.
How will the late payment fee be applied?
- If you pay monthly, a late payment fee of £12 will be applied after your first missed payment. You will only ever be charged a maximum of 1 late payment fee of £12 over the lifetime of your loan.
- If you pay weekly, a late payment fee of £4 will be applied after your first missed payment. For each missed payment after that we will charge a late payment fee of £4 up to a maximum of 3 late payment fees equal to £12.
Monthly Payer | Weekly Payer | |
1st late payment fee | £12 | £4 |
2nd late payment fee | £0 | £4 |
3rd late payment fee | £0 | £4 |
Maximum fee applied over the lifetime of a loan | £12 | £12 |
What happens if I can't pay back the loan?
We'll try to avoid putting you in the position - this is why we don't guarantee you'll be accepted. But we understand that things do go wrong sometimes. If you have any problems, please contact us and we'll work with you to arrange an alternative repayment plan that may suit you better.
Also, if you find it useful, you can contact free debt advice providers moneyhelper.org.uk.

Responsible Lending: Please think carefully about whether Lending Stream is the right solution for you. Short-term loans are an expensive form of borrowing. They could make your finances more difficult in the long-term. This is even more important if you're in financial difficulty. If we don't think you can afford a loan, we won't give you one. We'll look at your current finances and credit history before we make any lending decisions.
