We recognize the impact the COVID-19 virus is having on our members, and we are committed to supporting you. We have currently discontinued the self-service courtesy skip payment program. If you are encountering any financial concerns with your accounts, we encourage you to apply for assistance through our Financial Hardship Form. If you have further questions please call us at 1-800-247-5626.
We understand that sometimes “life” happens to everyone. When you apply for assistance, we will:
Start by sending us your information. One of our Loss Mitigation Analysts will contact you to begin the process.
Our process is the same whether you have a mortgage, credit card, auto loan, or any type of loan with PenFed. Our Goal is to help you get back on your feet.
We can help with a variety of workout options depending on the type of loan you have, from deferring payments, a forbearance agreement, a repayment plan, or even a modification.
If you have a mortgage and are unable to stay in the home, we may be able to work with you on a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
If you are seeking assistance on a mortgage and the loan has been sold to a Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE), such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, we will follow their assistance guidelines.
To find out if your loan is owned by a GSE and for a complete list of their workout options, follow this link to see if your loan is owned by Fannie Mae: https://www.knowyouroptions.com/loanlookup or this link to see if your loan is owned by Freddie Mac: https://ww3.freddiemac.com/loanlookup/
