How we can support you with money worries?

If you are worried about your finances or experiencing financial difficulties, we're here to support you.

We also understand that rising living costs can make managing your finances more difficult. If you're feeling the impact, you're not alone.

We've a range of options that may help, including payment hold, tailored payment plans or independent debt advice. Please remember that using these may affect your credit file, as any arrears will need to be reported to credit reference agencies.


Payment Hold

If you can't make your next payment or you're already behind, we can temporarily place your agreement on hold. This stops any fees and charges being added, giving you time to review your finances and seek debt advice.


Payment Arrangements

We can work with you to reduce your monthly payments to make it more affordable in the short or longer term, depending on your situation.

To help us to support you, we will need some information regarding your current situation. So before you contact our team, please have your agreement number and monthly income and expenditure figures to hand. We use Experian Open Banking to securely provide information to help build a plan that works for you, which won't affect your credit score.

We'll then be able to:

  • Review your income and outgoings to understand what's affordable
  • Talk you through the support options available
  • Help set up a plan that works for you
  • Share details of other organisations that may be able to help you.

At Novuna Personal Finance, we're committed to giving customers the right support at the right time.
That's why we've partnered with the National Support Network, to make it easier for you to find trustworthy help when you need it. Their directory brings together reliable UK helplines and specialist support services, so you can quickly access guidance that's right for your situation.
