• Making your loan repayments means you’ll avoid extra fees and charges. You'll also avoid any negative effect to your credit file. This is important if you want to apply for credit in future.

    Debt can become a problem when you can’t afford the monthly payments, are constantly paying them late or you have to juggle your money to make payments.

    Amongst other things, you might need extra support if:

    • Your personal situation has changed - for instance, if you've been made redundant or you're dealing with a long term illness.
    • You're behind with payments or worrying about paying bills.

    There are things you can do if you're starting to experience money worries, so please get in touch.

    Already missed a payment? You can speak to us on 0800 028 0690.

    Worried about future payments? You can speak to us on 0800 056 7298 (or +44 1244 757 233 from outside the UK).

    Lines are open Mon-Fri 8am-8pm and Sat 8am-5pm.

    Whatever help you need, you really aren’t on your own. Just speaking to us won’t affect your credit score.

    If you’d prefer to read some information first, you can find out more about managing debt.

  • If you’ve been placed on a payment arrangement, this will be confirmed by the lender who will tell you everything you need to know. This includes the interest rates that will apply while the arrangement is in place.

    After your payment arrangement ends, your standard contract rates at that time will apply. Refer to your account terms and conditions for details about these.

    If you want to know more, or talk about future arrangements if you’re still struggling, you can speak to us on 0800 028 0690. Lines are open Mon-Fri 8am-8pm and Sat 8am-5pm.
