Financial Assistance FAQs
Financial assistance can sound like a daunting prospect, however it can also help get your finances back on track. We’ve pulled together some of our most frequently asked questions to help you understand the process.
If you notify us of your changing circumstances, we’ll work with you to understand your options.
We’ll discuss with you:
- The reasons why you are in financial hardship
- An indication of how and when your situation will improve
- Whether you can make any repayments to your loan and over what period
- If you need to provide a 'statement of financial position', which provides information that validates your income and expenses.
For customers who are under financial assistance arrangements with Pepper Money, you will not be charged Default, Arrears or Dishonour fees during this time, and we will not apply additional default interest on amounts in arrears.
As everyone’s circumstances are different, the exact length of time for the repayment break will depend on your individual situation.
30 days before the end of your repayment holiday, Pepper Money will contact you to let you know that this arrangement is coming to an end and that your loan repayments will soon recommence.
