Answer:


The reality is lender's really don't care what the person's situation is, they simply want their money. The best option, however, is to contact the lender by phone and explain the situation so as to learn what the lender's policy is in such matters. A letter will likely get a response of "call this number" or something similar if indeed there is a response at all.

If the party chooses to make the initial contact by mail the best option is to keep it brief and to the point. Explain why it is not possible to comply with the original terms of the agreement, and request modification of the obligatory terms until one's financial situation improves.

A hardship letter is easy however, the hardship letter only works with collection agencies in the event of accepting a small partial payment arrangement or to get a lower settlement percentage that the original creditor allows.

Good examples: you lost your employment and you are in danger of losing your home, any medical complications that would prevent you from maintaining employment, drastic decrease in salary, fixed income, and single parent w/out child support. If you are a disaster victim the original creditor will already try to cut you a deal and you will be notified.
