The sooner you contact us, the quicker we can discuss the options available to you. Your home may be at risk if you don’t keep up your mortgage repayments. Please get in touch as soon as possible in one of the ways below if you’re concerned about making your payments as we may be able to help you. You don’t have to wait until you’ve missed a payment.
It’s always a good idea to get independent advice on your finances as a whole, which we aren’t able to give. We can help you find the right organisation to support you, so that you get as much help as possible.
At the bottom of this page there’s a list of organisations that offer help with mortgage payment issues. You might also find our managing the cost of living page helpful.

Anything you tell us about your situation is treated as confidential. We don’t share personal information with other lenders or credit reference agencies.
We are required to tell credit reference agencies if you have missed a payment, but if we can come to a payment arrangement with you we will also tell them about this.
Whether you need temporary support to get back on your feet or a long-term change, there are options we can look at with you — such as agreeing reduced payments for a period of time. What we can agree will depend on your individual situation, and we will consider any proposal you make.
Our priority is to reach an arrangement with you, and any legal action is only considered when we have explored all other possibilities.
