I called the credit union that holds my car loan and was pleasantly surprised to get a real person on the phone immediately.

Putting a hold on my husband's car payments was slightly more complicated. Because his payments are on autopay, we had to call both his lender and our bank in order to pause the payment for two months. Still, the extra $450 in discretionary spending for eight weeks was well worth the hour spent on the phone. Next, I looked into putting a hold on our mortgage payments. I already knew that my income had been impacted by the coronavirus.
