If you have a mortgage and were impacted by Hurricane Helene, you might be eligible for mortgage relief such as forbearance. Here\u2019s what to know.<\/p>\n

Mortgage relief after Hurricane Helene<\/h2>\n

Your mortgage servicer is the company you make your monthly payments to, and might or might not be the same as the lender you applied with to get the loan.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re safe, contact your servicer as soon as possible to learn about assistance or relief options. This could include forbearance \u2014 a temporary pause in payments during which you won\u2019t have to pay late fees or risk foreclosure \u2014 for up to 12 months. You might learn that your servicer proactively extended you forbearance if your home was in an affected area.<\/p>\n

In either case, do not stop making payments without contacting your servicer. Without a forbearance agreement in place, your credit will suffer.<\/p>\n
