What happens if I am late to make a repayment or can’t repay a debt?

Credit card companies will start to charge you if you’re late at paying back your debts. The longer your debts remain unpaid then the worse your credit rating will be affected.

If you feel you can’t repay your debts try to remain calm and do not ignore the problem. Try to talk to the company you owe money to and tell them about your problems repaying the debt. If you are unable to come to some repayment agreement and your debt is getting out of control.
