A few years ago I lost my job and got to a point where I just could not make my loan payments one month. I had literraly pulled every rabbit out of every hat I could find. I called my credit union and told them the position I was in. Know what they told me? Skip your payments for a few months, we will tack it on to the end of the loan. Call us when things get better. Try THAT with BofA.
