  • Did you take out insurance to cover unemployment?

    What did you use the £1500 for - could the item be sold and you pay back the loan?

    If you do not at least contact them to discuss the possibilities - yes your credit history will be toast as soon a you go 3 months into arrears.
    Generally at this point is when most banks will start action against you.
