Forbearance FAQ
Depending on your loan type and loan status at the time of the national emergency declaration, you may be eligible for a short-term forbearance.
What is a forbearance plan?
A forbearance plan temporarily suspends your need to make timely payments for the “Forbearance Period.” This program is designed to provide temporary relief for a short-term hardship.
Are late fees charged during the forbearance period?
During the forbearance period, we will not charge late fees nor report negative information to credit bureaus.
Can I still make payments during the forbearance period?
If at any point during the forbearance period you are able to resume making full or partial payments, although you do not have to, you are encouraged to do so as this will reduce any delinquency that would otherwise accrue during the forbearance.
What do I have to pay when the forbearance period ends?
Any payments not made in accordance with the contractual terms of your loan during the forbearance period will become due and payable at the end of the forbearance period.
What if my financial hardship lasts for longer than the forbearance period?
If at the end of the forbearance period you continue to experience a financial hardship or are unable to resolve the delinquency that accrued during the forbearance period, you may apply for loss mitigation assistance by visiting the Loan Solution Center to apply online or by contacting us at 1-800-495-7166.
