FAQs: Getting help with credit card payments

If making your payment feels overwhelming, you're not alone — and help is available. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for options like a short-term hardship plan, reduced payments, or other support to make things more manageable.

Hardship programs are designed for temporary financial challenges, such as job loss, medical expenses, or unexpected changes. These programs may offer benefits like lower interest rates, waived late fees, or reduced minimum payments for a limited time.

Joining a hardship or relief program doesn't automatically harm your credit score. However, if your account is already past due or if changes to your payment terms are reported to credit bureaus, your score may be affected temporarily. Acting early can help prevent missed payments and bigger impacts later. These programs are meant to help you recover — not set you back.

Be cautious. Some third-party companies claim they can "erase" debt but often charge high fees or advise you to stop paying your creditors. This can damage your credit and lead to additional fees or collections.

Yes. You don't have to wait until you miss a payment to ask for help. Reaching out early often means more options are available. Our specialists can review your account, explain temporary support programs, and help you create a plan that fits your budget.
