Financial Hardship & Payment Assistance

What to do when a payment or financial obligation may become difficult to manage.

Contact LNFCU early.

If you expect difficulty making a payment, communicating before the due date is usually more useful than waiting until the problem grows.

Call before the payment becomes a crisis

Explain the situation and identify the loan or account involved. LNFCU can explain current policies and what information may be needed for review.

Call 732-323-2496

Prepare a simple budget

List essential income, housing, transportation, food, insurance, debt payments, and other required expenses so you understand the monthly gap.

Avoid expensive “rescue” schemes

Be cautious of companies demanding upfront fees, guaranteed debt elimination, or payment through gift cards, crypto, or unusual transfer methods.

Fraud Awareness
