As a huge percentage of the toys are inextricably linked to many of the funders out there, I wonder, of those that felt the need or initially thought it was a good idea to take the offer of an early Covid-19 payment holiday, now that the accountants & office mice are getting back up to speed - What unfair or harsh treatment has been experienced by any borrowers...or is my question a month or two - early?

I'll have a go:

'Are people who took a break from debt repayments due to Covid now getting it in the neck from their lenders to pay up?'

I took one and it’s just extended my mortgage term by 3 months plus whatever interest that includes. I think car finance is the same

Had the option to increase monthly payments to cover it in the same term

Also have the option to pay a lump sum.

I didn't need to, but took the holiday by accident, kind of out of FOMO! I'm not good in a crisis....

Ended up paying a lump sum to catch up. I think it might have buggered my credit rating as I had an application involving a credit check refused for 'missing payments' and can't think of anything else it might have been...

Thankfully didn't have to take a payment holiday. Income dropped by circa 55% for 10 months but maintained same level of deposits into my S&S ISA and the Mortgage.

Accountants have not been on holiday at all - we've been hectic.

Still not English. At least you got Simpo's name right at the second attempt though...

Phew, I read the OP several times and half got what he said, but it's a light relief to have this translation.

Can I ask, where did you buy your babel fish?

And I wondered what 'Littlereddud' meant. I think the OP had better stop posting until he sobers up.

Cryptic questions.

Netflix and chill Marathon Man but leave the kids on the Xbox.

Sir Larry sends his regards.

He doesn't know who you are either.
