Money worries
What do I do if I am worried about money?
If you're concerned about debt or meeting repayments, the important thing is not to hide or ignore it. The earlier you address a potential problem, the sooner you can take action to solve it, reducing stress and potentially saving money in the long run.
If you have a problem meeting your obligations to Shawbrook you should speak to us as early as possible. We're, here to help. For more information and details of organisations that could help you, please go to our Money worries page.
What happens if I miss a payment on my loan?
Failure to make a repayment will result in a late payment fee being added to your outstanding balance. The late payment will also be recorded on your credit report and therefore could also result in it becoming more difficult to obtain new credit.
Continuing to miss payments will result in further charges and could lead to legal action being taken against you.
If you are struggling to repay your home improvement loan or can't repay your home improvement loan, please contact us immediately.
