You might not find any mention of such support on the issuer\u2019s website. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to take the initiative. Pick up the phone and call customer service to ask what types of assistance might be available.<\/p>\n<p>You may not even need to officially enroll in a hardship program to get help. In many cases, the card issuer may be willing to offer short-term relief \u2014 such as allowing you to skip a payment, reducing your minimum payment, or waiving interest charges or late fees temporarily.<\/p>\n<p>When you call, be ready to talk through a few different solutions. Let them know that you&#8217;re committed to repaying your debt and that you&#8217;re looking for a way to stay on track without causing problems for either side. Be honest about your financial situation \u2014 there\u2019s no need to embellish. Transparency builds trust.<\/p>\n<p>And remember: Just about everything is up for negotiation. The more prepared you are with a realistic plan and a willingness to work with the issuer, the more likely you are to walk away with a favorable arrangement.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Start the Conversation: How to Ask for Credit Card Relief Credit card companies typically don\u2019t advertise their hardship programs \u2014 not because they don\u2019t exist, but because they prefer customers view them as a last resort.
