Important Information on Payments
Important Information on Payments
If you fail to keep up with rent payments, your account will fall into arrears. At this point, the Association will contact you to advise you of the outstanding balance and to request payment.
At this stage you will be asked to complete an income and expenditure exercise. If you’d prefer to do this at home, you can complete the information online via IE Hub: https://iehub.co.uk/. Once you have completed the online form you can share it directly with us.
If you fail to respond, or fail to keep, to agreements to repay the debt in a reasonable time, legal proceedings will be started. These legal proceedings could ultimately result in the loss of your home.
If you are in financial difficulties, it is important that you let us know as quickly as possible so that we can help you work out a way to pay. If this applies to you, please contact Castles & Coasts as soon as possible.
To speak to the Income Team about arrears, or discuss how you pay your rent, please use the following telephone number 0800 085 1171 (free from landlines and mobiles).
