Dear Sir/Madam


Account No:

I am writing to tell you that I am getting advice from National Debtline on dealing with my financial situation and choosing the right debt solution for me.

Since making the above agreement with you, my circumstances have changed. I cannot now afford to make the agreed monthly payments for the following reasons.

Because of my circumstances, please agree to If you are adding interest or other charges to the account, I would be grateful if you freeze these so that the debt does not increase.

Please send a to make it easier to pay you.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
