BANKING & CREDIT RESOURCES
- If you are considering deferring your mortgage payments be aware that the interest will continue to compound. As a result, your mortgage payments will be higher either when you resume payments or upon renewal at the end of the mortgage term.
- When you are negotiating a deferral program with your financial institution, be sure to get in writing (date, time, representative’s name) that your credit rating will not be affected as a result of missed payments.
