If you can’t make the payment, don’t be ashamed and do what you have to do. These are trying times.

What happens if ur making payments and they still put u In forbearance and u were NOT the one requesting to be put there?

It's stealing, that's what it is. Pay ur debts.

How is this stealing you still owe the debt no matter what and interest still accrue.
