ANNUAL STATEMENTS AND PAYMENTS

The Rate Per Loan has now been confirmed and has increased for the first time in three years to 6.29 pence.

The current timetable is as follows (any changes will be communicated if this timetable is affected):

Statements

Online statements will be available to view on 6 January 2010.  An email will be sent to those who have an activated online account to advise that their statement is available.  Users may then log into their secure online account to view/print their statement.

Paper statements will be posted second class on 6 January 2010 to those who do not have an online account.   Please note that you will only receive a statement if you are due to receive a payment (ie if your books earn £1 or more).  This is to reduce administration and postage costs - online statements will still be available regardless of the amount earned.

Payments

Payments will be made during the week commencing 8 February 2010. Please ensure that your bank details are up to date to prevent delay in receiving your payment. Cheques will be posted second class on 8 February.

You can update your address and bank details in writing or via the online service. We can also accept changes of address (but not bank) over the telephone, subject to verification being provided.

Please note that we are unable to accept changes to either address or bank details via email.
