Financial hardship

We understand things can change and you can unexpectedly find yourself in financial hardship through no fault of your own. Don’t worry, if you’re struggling to make repayments, we can help.

You can also talk to debt charities MoneyHelper, StepChange or Citizens Advice who can offer you independent expert advice.

If you’re in financial hardship, please let us know. If it is easier, you can send us an email at [email protected]. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about, financial hardship is more common than you think and it’s often temporary. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. If you are struggling, we can work with you to tailor a solution for your Laybuy payments.

How do we define financial hardship?

This covers a wide range of things, such as:

  • Injury or illness
  • Emergency events or natural disasters
  • Personal changes in income and expenditure
  • Changes in employment status
  • Significant life events such as a relationship breakdown or a death in the family.

No matter what is happening in your life, if you are struggling financially please let us know.
