REQUEST A PAYMENT PLAN
If you cannot afford to pay the full amount of your debt immediately, we may be able to agree a fixed-term payment plan. Please note that we are bound by certain restrictions on the length of these plans by our clients.
It is important that you contact us immediately if you cannot pay the full amount, in order to prevent further recovery action and additional costs.
You can request a payment plan via either:
CDER Customer Portal
You can view your account, make a payment or request a payment plan by logging in or registering on our online customer portals:
- hmcts-customer.cdergroup.co.uk (for HMCTS court fines)
- customer.cdergroup.co.uk (for all other cases)

What if I cannot afford the instalment amount I agreed to pay?
Please contact us immediately on 0330 041 4890 (for HMCTS court fines) or 0330 460 5295 (for all other cases) to discuss the situation.
We appreciate that people’s circumstances can change and we will work with you to help identify repayment options to take these into account. Our Agents have access to information regarding relevant benefits you may be able to claim (Council Tax and Business Rate relief schemes) and can provide you with details of Debt and Welfare Support Agencies who will be able to provide specialist support.
You should not stop or reduce your payments without agreeing the change with us first, as your case may be issued to an Enforcement Agent and further costs may be incurred.
