Support with money issues

Find the right advice to tackle your financial struggles, whether you want to reduce the amount you're currently paying back, change your repayment plan, or address any other money issues.

    Given the recent cost of living crisis, there are plenty of people in a similar boat looking to navigate these tough times. With this in mind, we’re here to listen to your concerns and work together to find a solution.

      Here's what you can expect from us

      Talking to us directly is the best way to find a solution if you’re worried about your payments. Depending on your circumstances, we may be able to reduce the amount you pay for a while or give you more time to make your payment.

      We know taking the first step can be hard - a lot of our customers say that - but it’s better in the long run if we talk sooner rather than later. If you're still nervous about talking to us, once you've run through a few security questions, we'll be happy to speak to someone close to you on your behalf.
