    They have been known to freeze interest on a temporary basis if you are struggling, but you will have to speak with them and be able to demonstrate your cashflow problem.

    This is usually only done for a set period of time to allow customers to get back on their feet. If you think it is going to be a longer term problem, then you may need to discuss a repayment plan with them.

    Good Luck.
