We also understand that at times you may like to have a friend, relative or third party representative such as a financial counsellor deal with us, on your behalf. Should this be the case, we require written authority to discuss your personal and account information first to maintain your privacy and then can work together to get you back on track.
When you apply for assistance, our Credit Care & Recovery team will assess your situation and look at options that may be available to you – whether that’s giving you a hand in the short term or setting you up for the long term. They will also advise on the next steps and any documentation required, depending on your circumstances.
If you’re experiencing financial hardship, government and community support services are available to help.
