How does the Clearpay payment schedule work?
What if I can't pay a Clearpay instalment?
As soon as you miss a payment, Clearpay will immediately stop you from making any further purchases with Clearpay. Clearpay will give you until 11 PM on the following day to make your repayment, and you'll then incur a late fee if you are still unable to make the payment by then. This will be an initial £6 and a further fee of £6 if the missed payment is not made within 7 days. If your order is less than £24, the total late fee will be £6. If your order is £24 or more, total late fees won't exceed 25% of the total order value or £24, whichever is less.
Late payments may affect future spending limits. Clearpay may also report your late payment data to credit reference agencies. This could have a negative impact on your credit file and could make it harder to get credit in the future. Clearpay debt may be passed to a debt collection agency. This may affect your ability to use Clearpay in the future.
