Understanding financial hardship

Financial hardship can affect any of us, often at times when we least expect. If you're unable to make a payment to VoIPcloud due to one of the following circumstances, you may be experiencing financial hardship:

  • personal or household illness
  • unemployment
  • low or insufficient income, including reduced access to income
  • being a victim survivor of domestic or family violence
  • a death in the family
  • a change in personal or family circumstances
  • a natural disaster
  • unexpected events or unforeseen changes that have impacted your income or expenditure
  • other reasonable causes
