If you are having trouble making loan payments during the COVID-19 outbreak,
talk to your lender about your current situation and find out how they are
helping their customers during the outbreak.
The division encourages lenders to:
- Allow customers to defer payments, extend due dates, or adjust terms of
existing loans to avoid delinquencies and negative credit reporting
- Ease credit terms for new loans
- Waive late payment fees for 90 days
- Provide ways for customers to manage their accounts if offices close
State chartered banks and credit unions, and the state’s regulated lenders
and loan servicers are expected to not garnish, or apply CARES Act economic
stimulus payments to outstanding debts or overdraft charges.
Many financial institutions have been providing this service to customers.
If you have an issue, it is important to discuss it with your financial provider.
