Why Engage with Us?
If you miss a mortgage repayment your account will go into arrears. That will lead to additional interest being charged on your account.
We are also required to report missed repayments to the Central Credit Register. This will be visible to other financial institutions and could affect your ability to access credit in the future.
It is important that you cooperate and engage with us to ensure we can assess your financial situation, otherwise you may be classified as “not cooperating”.
“Not cooperating” is defined by the Central Bank of Ireland in the Consumer Protection Regulations 2025 as follows:
You can be considered “not cooperating” when:
You fail to make a full and honest disclosure of information to us and this information would have a significant impact on our assessment of your financial situation; or
You do not provide information we require to assess your situation within the timelines we specify; or
For a period of 3 months: You have not made contact with or responded to any communications from us AND You have either failed to meet your mortgage repayments in full (per your original contract or the terms of an alternative repayment arrangement) or your account has been in arrears.
If you are considered “not cooperating”, a warning letter will be issued to you with specific actions to carry out to avoid being classified as “not cooperating”. If you fail to carry out the actions specified in the letter, you will be classified as “not cooperating”. The implications of being classified as “not cooperating” are:
