over-commitment, medical illness, separation or natural

disasters

obligations

Hi Jeffrey, we’d like to let you know you have an upcoming Personal

Loan payment for account ending in 3089 due on DD/MM/YYYY.

We’ve noticed that you recently missed a payment on your account. You

can set up a Direct Debit so your Personal Loan repayment is made

automatically. This reduces the chance of being charged late fees.

Please call ANZ on +61 3 8595 2642 or 1300 756 981 (from overseas,

call charges may apply) to discuss any changes to your situation that

may be affecting your ability to pay the amount due.
