Finding Support When RBS Debt Becomes Hard to Manage

RBS debts usually feel overwhelming when the account is working against your budget instead of supporting it. Payments fall out of sync with what you can comfortably manage, and the balance starts to grow quietly in the background. Once that happens, it helps to look at the situation in a clearer, more structured way, so you can see what’s driving the pressure and what can be changed.

If payments fall behind, RBS may apply additional interest or charges, and the debt could eventually be passed to a collection agency. This can feel unsettling, but it does not mean the situation is beyond help. There are steps you can take to prevent things from getting worse and to bring some structure back into your finances.

We will look at your full financial picture before offering guidance, taking time to understand your income, essential spending, and other commitments so any advice reflects what you can realistically manage. The aim is to give you a route forward that feels stable and achievable.

As seen on:

Royal Bank of Scotland Loan Debt

RBS loan repayments can become difficult when incomes change or household costs rise. Arrears can often build in stages. First you may see reminder letters, then additional interest, followed by stronger collection activity if the balance continues to fall behind. A default notice usually appears once RBS believes the account cannot return to the original agreement.

A review of your income and essential costs helps you work out what you can realistically manage. RBS might accept a reduced repayment plan for a period, although this depends on how far the account has progressed and what you can afford each month.

There are recognised ways to deal with loan debt when a temporary plan is not enough, and this is where we can help. Our team will talk you through practical debt solutions available like a Debt Management Plan (DMP), Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), or Debt Relief Order (DRO) – so you can get back on track.

Can Nationwide Write Off My Debt?

Yes. RBS debts can usually  be included in an IVA or a DMP because it is classed as unsecured borrowing. Both solutions allow you to bring the overdraft into a structured repayment plan, which often makes the debt easier to manage. The right option depends on your income, the size of your debts, and how much you can realistically afford each month.

I was hesitant in applying for an IVA, But my mind was put at ease on the first call. The whole process was explained to me with complete care and understanding and I didn’t feel judged at all. Since being accepted for the IVA my mental health has improved so much and I now don’t worry about how I am going to put food on the table each week.
