I feel a bit daft answering this question, but I just want to be 100% sure I get it right considering that it's my first credit card and I'm using it to build credit.
My first statement from Aqua came through the online portal on the 14th of October for £30.
The statement says that the due date is the 2nd of November, so almost 2 weeks from now.
The question is, now the statement with the statement balance has been issued, can I pay off that statement balance now without any risk of interest or other issues, even if it's 2 weeks before the due date?
The main reason is that I just want to get it settled now, as whilst I do have a direct debit set up, I've heard it can take multiple weeks to become active, so I'd rather do the first few monthly payments manually and then let the DD take over from there.
I'd also like to do this one quite early just so I can catch any payment problems early and rectify them with plenty of time before the due date (just being overly cautious).
So providing the payment is AFTER the statement date, but well before the due date, would that be okay?
