is letting borrowers who can’t afford their payments apply for a 60-day forbearance, with an optional 30-day extension to those who are still impacted after that time. Interest will still accrue on loans in forbearance, and opting for forbearance will extend the loan’s repayment term.According to CommonBond, the coronavirus’ classification as a natural disaster means its borrowers affected by the crisis can apply for its natural disaster.

CommonBond will waive late fees during the national emergency period, and the number of months you postpone payments won’t count toward your standard forbearance limit. . During these three months, interest will accrue, but it won’t be capitalized at the end of the forbearance period. Earnest’s disaster forbearance program isn’t guaranteed to all of its borrowers. According to the lender’s COVID-19 response webpage, “qualified clients” will be offered the forbearance period after filling out a request form. The company asks interested customers to include details about how they’ve been financially impacted, the industry they currently work in and when they would be able to resume loan payments.

To apply, College Ave customers must email the company a forbearance request including their loan ID, full name and date of birth. It doesn’t appear that a proof of hardship is required to apply for the forbearance program. College Ave says requests will typically be processed within five business days.

I am missing the climax of this storyline. 🤔
