Common questions
Are public service salaries treated differently in hardship?
No. Hardship is based on actual financial position, not occupation. Steady income simplifies plan-building but doesn’t disqualify hardship if circumstances genuinely warrant it.
How do I check if my debt is legitimate?
Sign in or use the lookup with your reference number. The debt page shows the originating business, the amount, and the basis. If anything looks wrong, dispute it — collection pauses immediately.
Can I pay it all off today?
Yes. Pay-in-full is the first option on every debt page. Card or bank transfer; instant receipt; debt closed.
Ready to deal with it?
Pay in full, build a plan, or request hardship — all from your phone.
