How we can help you

  • When you contact us on the number below we'll discuss your concerns, and how we could support you.
  • Just talking to us will not affect your credit file. And we're confident you'll feel better for doing so.
  • We could arrange a new payment plan with you, to make your mortgage more manageable.
  • Change the way you make your payments, or the date you make them on.
  • In some cases allow you to pay your mortgage back over a longer period, which would reduce your monthly repayment.
  • Change the type of mortgage you have, for example temporarily converting your account to an interest only basis could reduce your contractual payment.

If we can make one of these arrangements with you, we’ll explain how it would work and give you time to consider it. If we cannot offer you any of these options, we will of course tell you why.

We will treat you with dignity and respect, and listen to your individual circumstances and needs. We’ll do everything we can to find a solution to make your mortgage more manageable, and enable you to remain in your home.

  • Contact us quickly, if we try to contact you.
  • Make sure you keep any other people paying the mortgage, and anyone guaranteeing the mortgage, up to date with what is happening.

  • Check whether you can get any state benefits or tax credits which could help to increase your income.
  • If you have an insurance policy such as payment protection, check whether it would help with your payments.
  • If applicable, ask us for our agreement to put tenants in your property.
