Helpful hints to manage your account

How to manage your purchases and maintain a good credit history

  1. Know your payment due date. Refer to your statement or contact Harris Scarfe Value Plus Card Team on 1300 131 444 to ensure your payments are received on time. (Fees and charges apply for late payments – refer to the Value Plus Card Key Facts).

  2. Pay at least the minimum due amount each month. Refer to your statement or contact Harris Scarfe Value Plus Card Team on 1300 131 444 to find out how much this is and when it is due.

  3. Minimise interest charges by paying your statement balance in full each month or the minimum due amount to lessen the interest charge.

  4. Review your monthly statements to ensure all transactions are correct.

Your Harris Scarfe Value Plus and Value Plus Gold Card statement will provide you with the information on how long and how much it will cost you if you only make minimum repayments on your account. Your statement will reflect the minimum amount you need to repay (including arrears) to keep your account in good order. It also includes more information about paying off your outstanding balance by making the minimum repayment each month.

The table that appears in your statement shows the total time it would take to repay your current balance if you only pay the minimum amount due shown on your statement each month as well as estimating the total interest charges that would be applied to your account over this time.

It also calculates the amount you will need to pay off each month to clear your balance in 24 months (2 years). The calculations reflected in the table in your statement are based on the total interest charges that you would pay in this 24 month period, and how much interest you could save compared to only paying the minimum amount.

The calculations used in the table are based on the closing balance of your statement and assume that you have no further transactions to your account.

When estimating the total time needed to repay your current balance in full and the monthly amount needed to pay off your account in two years, we assume that your statement is issued on the same date each month and that you always make your monthly payment on the payment due date.

Statement table (Example Only)

If you make no additional charges using this Card and each month pay…

You will pay off the Closing Balance shown on this statement in about…

And you will end up paying estimated total interest charges of…

only the minimum payment

267 months

$2919.04

$62.34

24 months

$304.72 a saving of $2614.32

This calculation, reflected on your statement, is an estimate only; the actual amounts may be higher or lower. Your Card balance is the outstanding balance on your credit card. It is the closing balance on your last credit card statement, plus any additional money you spent on your Card plus any interest and fees incurred since the end of the last statement period (check your last credit card statement).

If paying only the minimum due each month, you will pay more interest and it will take you longer to pay off your balance.

If you only pay the minimum payments on your account each month, the interest you pay may end up being more than the original debt.

By regularly repaying more than the minimum amount by the billing date every month you can reduce the amount of interest you pay. The more of your balance that you pay off now, the less interest you will pay.
