COVID-19 Mortgage Relief Information

Mortgage Relief Information

Whether it’s their personal finances or small business finances, Americans are facing unparalleled financial stresses. Many major banks have responded very differently from previous financial crashes, such as in the 2008 financial crisis when millions of Americans saw their homes foreclosed upon, their cars repossessed, their lines of credit suspended and more. With COVID-19, the banks have reacted by doing a great deal to help their customers continue to live without the fear of having their credit ended or assets seized.
