When you write the hardship letter, don't include anything that would hurt your situation. Here are some examples of things you shouldn't say in the letter: Don't say that your situation is your lender's fault or that their employees are jerks. Don't state that things will likely turn around for you.
The most common examples of financial hardship include: Illness or injury. Change of employment status. Job Loss or loss of income.
A financial hardship occurs when a person cannot make payments toward their debt. A financial hardship letter is the best way to explain why your account is behind schedule. Lenders may use them to determine whether to offer relief through reduced, deferred, or suspended payments.
- State the purpose of the letter: requesting the release, forgiveness, or reduction of the debt. - In the next section, explain your financial situation honestly and clearly. Provide relevant details, such as: - Reasons for your financial hardship (eg, job loss, medical issues, divorce).
The borrower can apply for debt forgiveness on compassionate grounds by writing about the financial difficulties and requesting the creditor to cancel the debt amount.
I respectfully request that you forgive my alleged debt, as my condition precludes any employment, and my current and future income does not support any debt repayment. Please respond to my request in writing to the address below at your earliest convenience. Thank-you in advance for your understanding of my situation.
