If you call us on 0800 363 400 we'll be happy to provide you with your remaining loan balance details.

If you've already got an M&S Personal Loan and you want to increase the amount you borrow, you can apply for a second loan online. Please note, this means you'll be making two loan repayments each month. If you already have two M&S Personal Loans you'll need to call us on 0800 363 400 to discuss the possibility of increasing your borrowing further.

If you would prefer to top up an existing loan, so that you have just one monthly repayment, please call us on 0800 363 400.

To find out your M&S Loan settlement figure you'll need to call us on 0800 363 400.

At the start of the loan, we calculate the total amount of interest payable (total cost of credit) over the term of the loan. We calculate the interest due from each monthly repayment based on the number of days between repayments and the outstanding capital balance. This means we collect a higher proportion of the total interest at the start of the loan, when the capital balance is bigger, and a lower amount towards the end.

If there are delays between repayments, then more interest will accrue during that period. For example, this can happen if the payment date you choose is more than one month after the date you sign your agreement, or if you take a payment holiday that isn't shown in your credit agreement. Although we will never charge more total interest than shown on your credit agreement, this could mean that the rebate you get for settling your loan early is lower, or can go down to zero.

You can make overpayments which may reduce the amount of interest that you pay.

If you have an existing loan and wish to make additional payments you'll need to call us on 0800 363 400.

A personal loan can be a good way to pay for home improvements, buy a new car or consolidate debts.

As a responsible lender, we take into account your personal circumstances when establishing your suitability for the loan amount you have requested and the rate we're able to offer. To help us do this, applications may be assessed using a process called credit scoring. You can learn more about credit scoring by reading our useful guide.
