If your car has been written off or stolen, please notify us via Customer Services as soon as possible. You must continue making your monthly payments until the matter has been resolved with your insurance company.


Please be advised, if you choose not to maintain your monthly payments this could have an adverse affect on your credit rating and may affect your ability to obtain credit in the future. Interest may be charged on any amounts unpaid.

If the amount paid out by your insurance company is insufficient to cover the outstanding balance on your agreement, you will be required to pay the difference between the insurance company settlement figure, and the amount due to us in settlement of your agreement.


If, however, you have BMW Shortfall Insurance and paid all the premiums, this will pay the difference, between the insurance company settlement and the amount due to settle your agreement.

You can make additional payments against your agreement, however, you will require a quote before any payments can be made. Please login to your agreement through MyBMW Finance or contact Customer Services to receive this. 

If you are currently in a payment plan or have previously taken a payment deferral with us and since received Notice of Sums in Arrears, please do not worry. These are regulatory notices which are required by law to send to you for information purposes to keep you up to date with the current status of your agreement. So long are you are maintaining your regular monthly payments, or any payments agreed under a payment plan, you don’t need to take any action.

Open Banking is a quick and efficient way for you to provide us with information regarding your income and expenditure. As responsible lenders, this is information we require to allow us to assess your current financial position to help us consider an affordable repayment plan.
 

When you agree to participate in Open Banking, you will be sent a link, either by email or SMS, which will allow you to provide us one-time access to your banking information.
 

Once you have identified the appropriate bank account(s) and agreed to provide the information to us, we are sent a breakdown of your average monthly income and expenditure, providing insight to the disposable income available to you each month after your essential expenditure. We can then review this information and contact you to discuss how we may be able to assist you.

Our preferred payment method is Direct Debit. This is one of the safest and most convenient ways to make payment and ensures your monthly payment is never forgotten or delayed.
 

However, for active agreements, you can make a manual payment for any outstanding amounts. To do so, call our 24hr automated payment line on 0818 253 181. Please note, the card used must be registered in your name and to the home address we hold on file.
 

We regret we are unable to accept payment by Credit Card for any final balloon or settlement payments.

If you have a regulated BMW Select or BMW Hire Purchase agreement you have the right to end the agreement at any time, known as voluntary termination. You must hand back the vehicle and pay the balance to one half of the total amount due under your agreement (if you have not already paid at least one half) and in addition any arrears, excess mileage, and damage charges. We may be able to agree a repayment plan with you for any remaining balance due. This may be subject to an Income and Expenditure review with you to ensure the plan we set is affordable for you.
 

Details of this right are set out in your agreement under "Termination: Your Rights" and you can see more on our Ending Your Agreement page.

For more information on this option, you can call 0818 253 181 and one of our advisors will be happy to help you.

For Active Agreements:
 

Although a payment plan has been agreed, since the regular instalment is not being made, in full, on the originally agreed date, any amounts outstanding for 28 days or more will report late payment markers to the Credit Reference Agencies until such time the agreement is brought back up to date. For the period you remain in a payment plan with us, this will be reflected as ‘an arrangement’ on your credit file.
 

For Settled or Expired Agreements:
 

Providing the first payment of your plan is received within 28 days of any outstanding balance falling due, with any subsequent payments being made as per the agreed plan, no late payment markers will be reported to the Credit Reference Agencies. Should the arrangement break at any point due to non or late payment, late payment markers will be reported until such time the balance is cleared, or the payment plan reset.

Your credit file may be impacted if you do not maintain your payments. We are required to report factually and therefore any payment outstanding for more than 28 days will be reported to the Credit Reference Agencies.  

You are in Default when you do not adhere to the terms and conditions of the finance Agreement. An example of this would be not making your scheduled payments on time.
 

It may be possible to amend your regular payment date.
 

If you are registered with MyFinance, please log onto your account to see what changes can be made.

The vehicle will be sold at auction, with the sales proceeds being offset against any liability you still owe us. If the sale of the vehicle does not settle the balance owed on your agreement, we will write to you, providing you with a Statement of Liability which detail the amount you are required to pay.

This statement outlines the amount you owe us following the sale of the vehicle.
