**More about the team**:
The Northridge collections and recoveries department is responsible for managing all UK customers who are experiencing financial or repayment difficulties. This may be because of a change in their circumstances leading to arrears on the account or due to a breach of contract, such as non-payment of a matured loan. We deliver responsible debt management throughout the customer lifecycle, balancing commercial risk with the delivery of fair & sustainable customer outcomes.

We attempt to proactively engage with our customers to help us to gain a full understanding of their financial situation, and we will take into account their individual circumstances while working with them to tailor a strategy that suits their needs. We utilise a range of hardship tools and forbearance options which can help customers through difficult periods or provide solutions which enable repayment of loans past maturity.

We deal sympathetically and positively with any cases where a customer is in financial difficulty, and we are informed that they have potential vulnerability. Their vulnerability may affect their ability to deal with financial matters or mean that they will experience difficulty in being contacted by our usual communications channels. We will work with the customer to minimise the risk of detriment whilst working towards an outcome which is appropriate to the customers individual needs and circumstances.

Having to adhere to strict Regulatory requirements laid down by the Financial Conduct Authority means that we have to strike a balance between helping the customer where there is a chance of recovery, and identifying an exit strategy when the loan is unsustainable in the long term.
