    Coronavirus (COVID-19) support

    If your income has been affected by coronavirus, you may wish to take a loan repayment holiday. Ask to have a repayment holiday.

    There's no need to cancel your direct debit. But if you have, you need to make sure you can start repayments again after the repayment holiday. You can do this by re-instating your direct debit.

    If it is still cancelled when we try to collect again, you may be charged additional interest, fall into arrears and your credit rating may be affected.

When you apply for a loan or credit card, the financial institution will look at your credit score to see how risky the deal would be for them. They use this information to help decide whether to offer you credit, and if so, what kind of interest rate and terms you'll receive..
