Consolidate in November, Pay in January
We are offering our Payroll members the opportunity to consolidate their debts to us and defer their repayments until January 2023.
This means you could consolidate your debts to us and have no repayments to make until the new year. Giving you more flexibility over the festive period.
You simply need to sign into your account to apply, and choose the “Debt Consolidation Loan” form to submit your application. We will automatically check for eligibility to this offer when your application comes through to us.
Use our Consolidation Loan Calculator to see how much you could save:

Q&A
What is debt a consolidation loan?
A debt consolidation loan is a type of loan that’s used to combine all your existing debts into one loan. All you’ll need to do is use our Consolidation Loan Calculator to calculate the amount you need to apply for and if approved, we will directly pay off the debts you owe. You’ll then repay the loan over the agreed term.
Not only could a debt consolidation loan make your debt easier to manage, but it can also reduce the amount of interest you pay and your total monthly payments, by having all your debt in one place at a lower interest rate.
