Paydown gives you the facility to make regular payments over the loan term by paying part of the principle loan amount and interest which can result in you paying less over the loan term and picking up your item quicker than if you renew. Each time you make a payment it starts the contract for a further six months

If you have some available funds that you would like to put towards your loan, but is not enough to pay off the entire loan, we can put a partial payment against your outstanding loan. A partial payment does not affect the contract term but can offset an amount of the interest accrued at the point of redemption. A partial payment would not prevent your item going to auction but is another option to help ensure you are able to get your item back. In the event your item does to go to auction, you will receive a refund of the partial payments made.

When taking out a pawnbroking contract we will usually ask you how much you want to borrow along with the maximum loan amount based on the individual items value.
