Unforseen hardship

If you are unable to keep up your payments on your loan because you have experienced an unforeseen event, such as illness, injury, loss of employment, end of a relationship or any other reasonable cause you may be able to ask us to vary the terms of your Credit Contract Agreement by way of a hardship variation

What to do if you experience unforeseen hardship

Apply to us in writing or by email explaining your reason for the hardship variation and request one of:

1. An increase in the term of your credit agreement by reducing the amount due on each payment due date and increasing the number of payments.
2. A postponement of certain payments.
3. Both 1 & 2: Postpone some payments and pay smaller amounts over a longer period.

Send your application for a hardship variation to us in writing by letter, or email.

Please contact us if you need any help.
