How we can help if you've got money worries
The cost of everything is going up - from gas and electricity prices to household bills and even the weekly food shop.
If you’re feeling the effects of this and need support or you’re in debt, you’re not alone - and there are ways we can help.
Talk to us - we're here for you
It’s easy to not know where to start if money worries mean you’ve missed – or are worried about missing – a mortgage payment. Debt can happen to anyone. The most important thing you can do is talk to your mortgage lender as soon as you can – don’t put it off for another day.
If you have a mortgage with us, our friendly team are here to help you whatever situation you may be facing. We’ll work with you to provide support that fits you and your circumstances, based on what you can afford.
And don’t worry - getting in touch with us to find out your options won't affect your credit score in any way.
Review your budget
Understanding where your money is going is an important step in taking control of your finances. It’ll help you see what money you have regularly coming in and going out. It could even help you find ways to cut down on some spending.
Our budgeting tool is a great starting point. But you’ll still get the help and advice you need if you call us without completing the budgeting tool first.
