The situation could arise because you have changed jobs and your earnings have gone down, or your other outgoings simply not do allow you to make your repayments. If you are extremely unfortunate and have had an accident or have fallen sick, and you do not have short-term income protection insurance or a repayment protection policy attached to your loan, you will not be able to afford the repayments.

They may be prepared to suspend loan repayments for a while or extend the term of the loan. Also check to see if you have a repayment protection policy included in your loan that might cover you in respect of the cause of your financial difficulties.
If you have a secured loan and you cannot in any circumstances fulfill the obligations of your repayment plan, the worst possible scenario is that you will have to sell your home to pay off the outstanding balance.
