What happens if I fail to stick to our arrangement?

The only way our costs will change from our initial calculation is if you don’t keep to your arrangement - in other words, if you ask us to change your chosen repayment date or don’t ensure enough funds are available on your agreed repayment date.

If any of your payments dishonour, one of our repayment solution specialists will contact you to request payment.

If there is a genuine reason for a payment dishonouring, we will attempt to help you. If we receive your payment within 48 hours, no dishonour fee or additional interest on the delayed payment will apply.

If we still haven’t received the money 48 hours after the due date, you will be charged a $30 default fee towards the cost of a failed collection, plus interest costs on the unpaid balance.

We will then continue trying to contact you to discuss the situation and arrange a new schedule. If your circumstances have changed significantly, we will do our best to offer a solution and come to an arrangement that helps you get back on your feet.

Please remember, if your situation does change and you need our help to rearrange payments, we will do so if you communicate with us. If you have doubts over whether you will be able to repay a loan comfortably, please act responsibly by not applying. We use the information and technology available to us to make the best lending decisions possible, but we urge you to consider the serious nature of the commitment you are making before you apply.

Save My Bacon understands that circumstances can change unexpectedly. If you are suffering unforeseen hardship due to illness, injury, loss of employment, the end of a relationship, or any other reasonable cause, and you believe that this will make it unreasonable for you to meet your obligations under your loan contract, then you should get in touch with us immediately to discuss the matter and any alternative arrangements available to you.

For those who qualify for financial hardship, an extension of the loan term and/or a postponement of the dates on which payments are due under the loan will be made available.
