Global Hardship Policy
Life doesn't always go as planned, and at Inkpay we understand that sometimes you might need some assistance. Inkpay was created to make budgeting easier, so we understand that managing your finances can sometimes be challenging due to unforeseen circumstances. Our hardship policy aims to help customers who are unable to meet their repayments in accordance with our terms of use and your INKPAY payment schedule.
What is financial hardship?
Financial hardship is more common within society than people might think, and many people will find themselves in financial hardship at some point in their life. A period of financial hardship is often temporary and, given time, many customers overcome their financial difficulties and repay their debts.
Inkpay’s approach to hardship
If you are experiencing a recent natural disaster, unemployment, illness, or other personal reasons that prevent you from meeting your agreed financial obligations, please get in touch to discuss support options.
This may include extending your repayment schedule, waiving late fees, or creating a personalised repayment schedule that will alleviate your hardship while still being able to meet your obligations and keep your Inkpay account in good standing.
INKPAY treats all hardship applications as urgent matters and will assist as quickly as possible.
How to apply for hardship?
Simply get in touch via the email below, and you will be asked to fill in an application form to provide details of the hardship you are experiencing. If you can provide supporting documents to confirm the circumstances of your application, this will help us tailor a custom solution that works for your situation.
