Following the coronavirus outbreak, we want to reassure you that our priority is providing the same great service whilst supporting you through any financial difficulties you may have as a result of this difficult situation.
If your income has been affected?
Given the current restrictions around work and travel, we understand your income may be reduced and that this could affect your ability to make repayments. Rest assured; we'll do our best to reach an alternative solution with you that aims to reduce some of the worries you may have during this time. Please contact us as soon as possible if you think you're going to struggle to make your repayments and we'll be happy to help.

The Financial Conduct Authority have produced an information page for borrowers affected by coronavirus, which contains recommendations and sources of independent advice.
How has Dot Dot Loans been affected by coronavirus?
All our teams are now working from home following the latest government advice and we're still working hard to assist our customers.
We're here to support you through this difficult time, but please bear with us; we're working hard to answer calls and reply to emails as fast as we can, but we may take a little longer than usual due to the amount of queries we are currently receiving.
You can still write to us and make payments by cheque; however, you may find it takes a little longer than usual to hear back. If your query is urgent, please contact us via phone or email. Any delay in correspondence due to post will not have an impact on your account.
You can find information about your loan online via the Customer Portal, such as your balance and payment schedule. You can login here.
