Hello,

I am not quite sure how paying off credit card balance work.

I get statements around 15 or 16th every month.

My payments are due every 10th of the month.

I pay off the balance every month.

Usually I pay it off in few transactions for example on 15th, 23rd and 29th of the month so there is nothing more to pay on 10th next month (which is a due date)

This time I made a payment on 6th of September £200

I don’t know now if my payment will go towards the new balance on the card (£1000 that is due 10 October 2024) or was it deducted before they gave me the balance?

Do I have to pay £1000 before 10th October or £800 (1000 balance on credit card less £200 I already paid before I got my next statement…)

I am so confused and I want to avoid charges.
