NEW HDFS Payment Rules.....
Effective February 9, 2012, all Harley-Davidson Credit customers will be required to login to MyHDFS.com for making online payments to your loan. This process change maximizes our ability to protect your personal account information through the use of increased security and authentication measures.
PLEASE NOTE: This change will not affect existing recurring payment customers. Your recurring payment will continue to process as scheduled until you stop it or your loan is paid off in full. This change only impacts customers that make one-time payments through DirectPay.

Using your banks billpay service, is not the same as using the HDFS
website.

I wish I was on a fixed income. Then I wouldn't have to worry about increased deductions, pay cuts, or getting laid off. Your fixed income is probably pretty good if you can buy things like a Harley so quit whining.

Another poster who hasn't seen the new terms.... you can no longer use your banks Billpay system... as of Feb 9th, if you pay on line you are "REQUIRED" t use the HDFS Websiteand, set a specific regular debit payment date or pay the fee. And, anyone with half a Brain that Borrows Money or seeks a Credit Card will shop around for the best terms, it's called doing business. Credit is a necessary evil in these times, so in my mind if your going to have it, get the best terms you can. Did you just take the first Mortgage offered to you, or did you shop it out? Did you apply for a 12.9% Chase Card or the 7.9% Simmons card.... Oh, I have the 7.9% Simmons Card... I guess I'm a Brainless Cheap Dick.
It astounds me how many folks accept terms and believe they are helpless

Well I think a little revollt is in order here, Harley Davidson Financial Services Just changed it's rules. I owe about a grand on my 09 FXD and have always made my payments via my Bank account at no charge. Now you are required to pay through the HDFS website, unless I sign up for Direct Scheduled Payments (no service fee) through the HDFS site, there will be a 6 dollar charge made when I pay through them. A I am on a fixed Income and prefer a bit of flexibility on my payment schedule. So it looks like I'll just go back to writing a paper check at my convenience. Which is more Labor and time for the Bank... I just don't get it. Has Greed just taken over. Your thoughts??
Seems like you would be unaffected by this change.

), using your banks billpay is not the same as an 'online payment'..... sounds to me like they are just trying to better protect your personally identifiable information (pii) by having you log in, as opposed to just clicking on a 'make payment' link.i don't see a problem. and you know, you could always just call them to verify. i'm sure they'll be able to tell you better than any one of us could.
