Making a Hardship Letter
A Hardship Letter is written to your landlord, creditor, or loan provider to request financial assistance if you are going through a difficult time financially. A typical Hardship Letter outlines your situation before the hardship occurred, and then describes your current financial situation and why you are unable to meet the payments due. Some common reasons for writing a Hardship Letter include injury, loss of job, economic downturn, an illness to you or a family member, etc. This letter should thoroughly explain your situation and your proposed solution for making payments.
