If you can’t make your mortgage payments, you should consider forbearance. We’re sharing the three things you should know about a forbearance plan.
Today we’re answering the most critical question: What if I can’t make my mortgage payments? You should be considering forbearance.
Forbearance provides temporary relief by reducing or suspending your payments.
There are three things you need to know:
1. Forbearance. Forbearance provides temporary relief by reducing or suspending your payments for a brief period.
2. Repayment options. You need to know the terms of the forbearance. You may have a repayment plan, modification, deferred payments, or extension of forbearance.
3. How this will affect your credit. I personally have gotten a forbearance. The letter I received from my lender said: “By entering into this forbearance plan, we will report your account to the credit bureaus as current under the forbearance plan.” That means no damage to your credit.
