We will be speaking to credit reference agencies to ensure consistent treatment of those customers to whom a repayment holiday is made available.
We recognise that these are unprecedented and difficult times for customers. This is why we are offering customers who are up to date with their mortgage payments and impacted by COVID-19 the ability to self-certify if they need help. We will commit to help customers the best way for the individual, but an automatic payment holiday may not always be the most suitable approach and may not be required by all customers.

Should the customer wish, we could conduct a full assessment of their finances. It's therefore important that customers who believe they may be impacted by COVID 19, either directly or indirectly, contact their lender at the earliest possible opportunity to discuss if the payment holiday is a suitable option for them.

Customers who are up to date with their mortgage payments and not currently in financial difficulty can request a 3 month payment holiday if they need help as a result of COVID 19. Customers will self-certify, disclosing that they are impacted by Coronavirus, we will not be asking for any further validation of this. Providing a payment holiday will not attract arrears or adverse Credit data. Once the payment holiday is over, we will look at options to recalculate deferred payments but will contact the client about this. These deferred payments mean that interest will not be collected on their balance (which is not reducing either). Once recalculated, their payment will increase as the balance + interest on the balance not collected during the holiday will be rescheduled over a slightly shorter term. If customers are ready to arrange an immediate payment holiday, they'll need to fill in the online mortgage payment holiday form and we'll action their request immediately.

To help our mortgage borrowers at this difficult time due to Covid-19, in line with government requirements, esbs will consider payment holidays for those in need.
However, a payment holiday may not be in the customer's best interests, as the account will still incur interest charges during the payment holiday, and so the balance will increase leading to higher future payments without a term extension.
Therefore, we will look to ascertain each individual's exact circumstances to ensure they receive the most appropriate guidance within the available forbearance measures, many of which the Society has been using over many years. This could include moving to interest only payments as an example.
If the borrower opts for a payment holiday, up to a maximum period of 3 months, it will be agreed by us and if they have spare funds, payments of any amount could still be made during this period.
We will return a zero payment (unless a higher amount is agreed through forbearance) to the credit agencies so that their credit rating is not affected, and no arrears will be applied (unless an agreed payment is not covered).
We will also verify individual Equifax extracts to ensure accounts have been reported correctly, and we will waive our usual fee for changing the mortgage term or type.

If you are able to maintain your mortgage payments, you should continue to do so. However, if you have been financially impacted by COVID19 and this is impacting your ability to meet your monthly mortgage payment, then you are able to request a payment holiday up to a maximum of 3 months as long as you are currently up to date with your mortgage repayments without any impact on your credit file. If you are currently in arrears, please contact our financial difficulty team on 0345 835 3374 (open 8am - 7.30pm weekdays and 8am - 12.30pm Saturday), who will be able to support you with alternative treatments.

If you choose to take a payment holiday you will need to be aware that the interest usually charged within your monthly payments will be added to the balance of the mortgage. Your account will be re-calculated at the end of the instalment break and written confirmation will be sent out approximately 2 weeks before your payments are due to restart. The payment will be calculated at that time using your higher balance and spread throughout the remaining term.

Switching to a new mortgage deal is not permitted during a payment holiday.

Coronavirus: Mortgage payment concession
Among the many pressures caused by the recent outbreak of coronavirus (covid-19), we fully understand that our members may be feeling financial pressures.
What can The Marsden do to help?
We are committed to supporting our members through this difficult time so if you think you'll have difficulties making your monthly mortgage payments because of the impacts of coronavirus, we can help by offering a concession on your monthly payments based on your circumstances.
What is a concession?
A concession is a short-term reduction in your monthly payments, sometimes referred to as a payment holiday. We are able to offer a concession of up to three months depending on your circumstances.
Can I apply for a concession?
You can apply for a concession if:
- Your household finances have been affected by measures put in place due to coronavirus, for example a reduction in working hours, temporary closure of firms, self-isolation due to having symptoms of the virus or caring for someone with symptoms
- You are up to date with your mortgage payments
- You have consent from everyone named on the mortgage
Is a concession the best option for me?

It is important to note that a concession is a temporary reduction in your normal monthly payments, and the amount owed will still need to be repaid and attract interest until it is repaid.

This means that unless you come to an arrangement to repay the concession, your mortgage payments will be recalculated when your concessions ends, meaning your monthly payments may How can I apply for a concession?

increase. In this case, the total amount of interest you pay over your mortgage term will increase.
