5. CAN MY LEASE BE CHANGED BY MY LESSOR?

Yes, but only if your lease says so.

6. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO IF I THINK THAT MY LEASE IS UNJUST?

Yes. You have 7 days after receiving your lessor’s request to tell your lessor. If you do not have the goods you must give your lessor all the information that you have so they can be traced.
You may also have obligations under the Terms and Conditions regarding advising the lessor whenever you relocate the goods.

8. WHEN CAN MY LESSOR OR ITS AGENT COME INTO A RESIDENCE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE GOODS?

Your lessor can only do so if it has the Court’s approval or the written consent of the occupier which is given after the occupier is informed in writing of the relevant section in the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

GENERAL

9. WHAT DO I DO IF I CAN NOT MAKE A RENTAL PAYMENT?

Get in touch with your lessor immediately. Discuss the matter and see if you can come to some arrangement. You can ask your lessor to change your lease in a number of ways:

• to extend the term of your lease and delay rental payments for a set time; or
• to delay rental payments for a set time.

10. WHAT IF MY LESSOR AND I CANNOT AGREE ON A SUITABLE ARRANGEMENT?

If the lessor refuses your request to change your rental payments, you can ask your lessor to review this decision if you think it is wrong.
If the lessor still refuses your request, you can complain to the external dispute resolution scheme that your lessor belongs to. Further details about this scheme are set out below in question 12.

11. CAN MY LESSOR TAKE ACTION AGAINST ME?

Yes, if you are in default under your lease, but the law says that you cannot be unduly harassed or threatened for rental payments. If you think you are being unduly harassed or threatened, contact your credit provider’s external dispute resolution scheme or FCA, or get legal advice.

12. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS?

Yes. The law will give you other rights and obligations. You should also READ YOUR LEASE carefully.
