A Notice of Default is sent once you have missed three payments with us. We understand that missing payments is stressful and can sometimes be unavoidable, and we will do our best to help you get back on track with your Salad Money account.
You can pay your arrears by logging in here: https://www.saladmoney.co.uk/account/login
Under the rules in the Consumer Credit Act 1974, we have to send you annual statements, arrears notices, and default notices - even if you are in a Debt Management Plan or have come to an alternate arrangement with us.
So if you have received a Notice of Default after already speaking with us, don't worry - this does not mean there is a problem with your DMP, or that we have not made a note of your plan on your account.
If you are struggling with your debts we can signpost you to StepChange, a free and impartial debt advice company. They will provide a holistic, comprehensive assessment of your financial situation and provide the practical help and support needed to help you with your debts moving forward (whether this be a Debt Management Plan, a payment break, an IVA, etc). If you do contact StepChange, we will follow any advice they give to us regarding your loan.
We can also point you to MoneyHelper, which brings together the support and services of three government-backed financial guidance providers (The Money Advice Service, the Pensions Advisory Service and Pension Wise), if you are seeking any further financial guidance.
In addition to this - whether you are currently in receipt of any benefits or not, we would highly recommend filling out the free InBest Benefits Calculator Survey. We have found that many of our customers are not claiming the maximum amount of benefits they are entitled to, and have helped our customers go on to claim on average, an additional £400 a month. You will see the option to complete this survey on the My Accounts page of your Salad Money account.
If you would like to discuss this further, or request a reduced payment plan or payment holiday, please enter as much detail as you can below and we will look into your request as soon as possible.
