Hardship
What to do if you suffer unforeseen Hardship.
If you are unable reasonably to keep up your payments or other obligations because of illness, injury, loss of employment, the end of a relationship, or other reasonable cause, you may be able to apply to the creditor for a hardship variation.
Lenders must comply with the lender responsibility principles when assessing hardship application, and provide written reasons if they decline a hardship application.
Under new rules borrowers can make a hardship application where they are already in default for more than two months, and they have not missed four consecutive payments.
Also borrowers can make a hardship application up to two weeks after receiving a repossession notice or Property Law Act notice. Lenders may not repossess consumer goods while a hardship application is being considered, unless the goods are at risk.
To apply for a hardship variation, you need to:
a) Make an application in writing; and
b) Explain your reason(s) for the application; and
c) Request one of the following:
• An extension of the term of the contract (which will reduce the amount of each payment due under the contract); or
• A postponement of the dates on which payments are due under the contract (specify the period for which you want this to apply; or
• Both of the above; and
d) Give the application to South Pacific Loans Limited.
Do this as soon as possible. If you leave it for too long, South Pacific Loans Limited may not have to consider your application.
Lenders must follow specified time frames in processing hardship applications. Lenders cannot charge credit fees in relation to the hardship application however a hardship fee will be charged if the application has been approved.
