I have missed a repayment, can I pay a bit more every month to clear what I owe?
For customers in arrears, we can assess your circumstances and find an arrangement that suits your needs. In some cases, there is an arrangement for customers with small arrears to make extra payments on top of their normal monthly payments. This is called the Capital Interest Plus Arrangement (CIPA).This means you would pay your normal monthly payment plus an extra amount agreed with us.

Your Credit Rating

How does missing mortgage repayments affect my credit rating?
If you have missed any mortgage repayments this may affect whether you get approval for more credit. When you miss repayments on your mortgage this is reported to the Irish Credit Bureau (ICB) and the Central Credit Register (CCR). They hold information about you and any loans you hold on an individual credit report. If you apply for any additional loans, the lender will use the CCR / ICB report to assess your application.

What is the MARP process?
MARP (Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process) is a system devised by the Central Bank of Ireland outlining how your lender must treat you if you are in mortgage arrears or facing arrears.
It has four components:
- Communication - Sets out how we have to communicate with you.
- Financial Information - You complete a Standard Financial Statement (SFS) telling us your financial information
- Assessment - We assess your case and decide whether to offer you an alternative payment arrangement on your mortgage.
- Resolution - We either offer you a payment arrangement or if we do not, we must explain the reasons why. You can appeal this decision to an AIB Group Appeals Board, and if you are still not satisfied you refer a complaint to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman.
