For the second time, Onmo has taken a direct debit which has not been taken off my balance. I pay my cards off completely every month and last time it happened, it was for £116 so I manually paid the full balance and the sum was added to my balance. This time it’s over £300 and I’m getting concerned that this is a pattern. Wouldn’t mind but I spoke to one of their staff on Saturday to pay my balance in full (app wasn’t working) and he said he couldn’t do it “but don’t worry it will happen on Monday”. Well it’s Monday and this has happened. Advice?
£116, you paid manually, why? Was your direct debit set up in time (lenders usually have a cut off).
£300+, assuming when your last statement was produced, this was the balance and it tells you in the statement £300+ will be taken by direct debit on X date.
So if the direct debit balance was debit from monzo today, the credit will appear in your credit card account tomorrow or within 3 working days latest.
Some lenders add the credit to your credit card balance the day the direct debit is due, anticipating it is successful, but not all use this method and wait until the funds are secured before adding it back to your credit balance.
Yeah, what happened was that I was paying off my balance too near to the direct debit date which was already in motion. So my bad! Onmo added that £116 direct debit to my balance and I had a good chat with them today. The app is still a bit wonky but hey, early days and I like the company
Yeah, I didn’t pay £116 manually, that was my DD. Thing I realized today after speaking to a really nice girl at the company was that your statement runs from a certain time so looking at your balance is not how to see what will be taken. Hey, I’ve got a few credit cards thought this one looked fun (like Monzo) so gave it a whirl. not sure it’s designed for someone like me tbh
The amount collected on due date has always been the latest statement balance as far as I know, if paying in full. Not any transactions after that statement date.
