We believe the best way to support our customers is to gather an understanding of your circumstances, so there is nothing to worry about, we will always look to:

  • Listen to you and try to understand how your situation may be impacting your finances and ability to manage your account. We will pay particular attention to whether you mention anything that could indicate extra care is required (E.g. mention of illness, hospital stay or treatment, diagnosis, depression) in order for us to, where required support you to the best of our ability.
  • Check whether you have had previous discussions with us so we can avoid duplicated conversations and enable us to tailor our approach to your specific needs.
  • Be proactive in identifying any indicators that you may need a little extra support from us.
  • Ask questions to obtain a full understanding of your situation in order for us to fully establish what we can do to tailor our approach to any specific needs you may have. For example, would you need any additional assistance such as documents in large print or a clearer/slower explanation of the product.
  • Encourage you to speak openly. We are committed to ensuring that you are achieving the most appropriate customer outcomes and that we provide you with the best service that we can.
