We know that, from time to time, you may have money problems. Your rent, or mortgage (where applicable), and service charges (where applicable) are priority payments that must be made. If you are struggling with money problems and you don’t pay, you will be in arrears. The sooner you contact us, the easier it is to sort things out - but it is never too late, we are here to help.
Your home is at risk if you do not pay your rent, or your mortgage, and your service charges (where applicable).
We will contact you and offer you guidance on how to get out of debt. Your rent, or your mortgage, and where applicable service charges, are priority payments. We can make an agreement with you to pay off your arrears in smaller amounts if you cannot pay it all off straight away.
If we cannot contact you or if you do not make the payments we agree with you, we will take further action. This may mean taking you to court, which could result in court costs and you may lose your home.

If you rent a garage and fall behind with the rent on it, or the rent on your home, we will give you one week's notice that we are going to take the garage back. We do not have to go to court to do this. We can also change the locks on the garage and charge you for the cost of doing this. By taking back the garage, we will stop your arrears from increasing.
