Financial Assistance
Financial Hardship is when a customer is willing and has the intention to pay, but due to a change in their circumstances, is now unable to meet their repayments or existing financial obligations. With formal hardship assistance, their financial situation will be restored.

Our Financial Hardship Department will assess your individual situation and provide options. This may be short term and in some cases long periods of time dependent on your situation.
Each situation is assessed on its own merits. You may need to provide further information such as proof of income, liabilities, expenditure and anything that is applicable to your circumstances.
We are required to provide you with an outcome or next steps within 21 days of you submitting your application. However, in most cases you will receive a response sooner.
No, there will be no collections activity during this period as long as you comply with your hardship arrangement.
We will advise you in writing of the reason. You may wish to seek further financial advice from a financial advisor or a third party in regards to the alternate options that may be available to you.
