What if I have trouble making payments on my consumer loans?
You should contact your lender to explain your specific situation. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is encouraging banks to take steps to meet the financial service needs of customers adversely affected by COVID-19-related issues.
The federal government also recommends using credit counselors accredited by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), in coordination with the Financial Counseling Association of America (FCAA). Information about credit counseling is available from the CFPB and the NFCC.
