I posted this before but it’s important if you’re in financial distress during these times.
IF you miss a mortgage or car payment, you can’t just say “oh well I missed 1 payment”. You HAVE to catch up.
Say you miss April....
Even if you pay on time every month after that, those payments will be retroactively applied to your missed payment. So May pays for April, June pays May etc.
If you never catch up this will count as 5 missed payments in 5 months etc. Even though only one payment was skipped.
If can totally screw your credit. So if you’re gonna miss, you gotta contact the bank/mortgage issuer.
It’s likely they will be making accommodations for these scenarios during these times.
Just don’t kill yourselves for the future.
