Frequently Asked Questions
Financial difficulties
If you’re in financial difficulty we’ll treat you in a courteous and professional manner. You’ll still need to repay your account with us according to your agreement, but only consistent with your ability to do so and with no unreasonable demands. If your account is overdue, we’ll contact you either by phone (mobile and SMS), or by letter. If we can’t contact you to discuss your situation, we’ll need to progress to more formal procedures, such as with solicitors and debt collection agencies. So, please get in touch with us to discuss your situation sooner rather than later.
