Appeal to make arrangements to pay my account denied

I am writing regarding my vehicle finance account, which has unfortunately fallen into arrears due to a period of unemployment from January 2026 until April 2026.

I would like to sincerely acknowledge the arrears and express my commitment to honouring my agreement in full. At no stage have I intended to avoid my responsibilities or abandon payment on the account. In fact, during previous difficulties, I made every effort to regularise the account, including a payment of R36,330 made in December 2025.

I have recently resumed employment and I am now in a position to begin making payments again. My intention was to make payment at the end of May 2026 and continue working toward bringing the account fully up to date.

However, I am now once again receiving communication from debt collectors regarding possible repossession of the vehicle. I respectfully request that Standard Bank consider my circumstances and allow me a reasonable opportunity to reinstate the account and continue with payments instead of proceeding with repossession.

I believe my payment history and willingness to engage demonstrate that I am not refusing to pay the account, but rather experienced temporary financial hardship due to unemployment. I am asking for an opportunity to rectify the situation now that I am employed again.

I would appreciate urgent assistance and a fair opportunity to resolve this matter amicably.
