We will consider cases of financial difficulty sympathetically and positively. You’ll usually spot problems first and should let us know as soon as possible. If we become aware of problems, we’ll let you know in writing. If speed seems to be important, we may try to contact you by phone, fax or email.
A few examples of situations that may concern us, particularly if you do not explain what is happening, are if you:
- Go overdrawn without our agreement.
- Go over your agreed overdraft limit, especially more than once.
- Experience large increases or decreases in your business’s turnover.
- Are trading at a loss.
- Suddenly lose a key customer or employee.
- Sell a large part of your business.
- Use a facility for purposes other than those agreed with us.
- Fail to make a loan repayment.
- Do not keep to conditions set out in the loan agreement.
- Do not supply agreed monitoring information on time.
- Have another creditor bringing a winding-up petition or other legal action against your business.
We’ll do all that we can to help you overcome any difficulties. For example, we’ll develop a plan with you for dealing with your financial difficulties and confirm, in writing, what we have agreed.
