- Will a mortgage holiday impact my credit score?
The three major credit reference agencies – Experian, Equifax and TransUnion – have confirmed that customers' credit scores WILL be protected when they have an agreed payment holiday in place. This special measure is called an 'emergency payment freeze' and means a payment holiday will essentially be invisible on your credit report, protecting your payment history.
So if you were up to date with your payments before the payment holiday, you'll continue to be up to date throughout. If you were already in arrears, your arrears will be kept at the same level, so the payment holiday months won't be counted as more missed payments.
