I missed my loan payment(s) because I lost my job as a result of COVID-19. Will I have to pay late fees?

Contact your bank to discuss your specific circumstances. The OCC has encouraged banks to work with customers who have been adversely affected by COVID-19. This might include allowing you to defer or skip payments without consequences, extend your loan terms, or restructure the loan.
