Problems paying your mortgage

Home / Benefits support and welfare advice / Debt and money / Problems paying your mortgage

If you're worried that you can't meet your mortgage or home loan repayments, you're in arrears or concerned that you might fall behind with your repayments, please contact your lender as soon as possible. Your lender should treat you fairly, and advise you what they can do to help you keep your home, with repossession as a last resort. They may be able to -

  •  reduce your payments for a set period
  •  charge you interest only for a while, if you've got a repayment mortgage
  •  give you a 'payment holiday'
  •  extend your mortgage term to reduce your payments

For more help and advice on mortgage difficulties you can download the below leaflet
