Q.
I have heard rumors that mortgage holders can get relief on their mortgage payments from lenders due to financial hardship from Hurricane Irma, is that true?
A.
In some cases you can receive what is called a mortgage deferment from your mortgage servicer. Those in need of assistance should call the number on their mortgage statement for information.
In some cases if you are in zip codes effected by Hurricane Irma the mortgage servicer may offer up to a 3 month mortgage payment deferment to the customer. Each mortgage company will have their own way of handling these hardship requests.
