Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit in the future.
Warning: This new loan may take longer to pay off than your previous loans. This means you may pay more than if you paid over a shorter term.
Warning: The cost of your monthly repayments may increase – if you do not keep up your repayments you may lose your home.
