This letter from 52 economic justice, civil rights, labor, faith and other groups urges lenders, debt collectors, and credit bureaus to provide economic relief to Minnesotans who have been financially devastated by the overly aggressive surge of militarized activity in that state by ICE.
The letter asks these companies, to:
- Establish well-publicized programs to provide impacted Minnesotans with forbearances, payment pauses, and other hardship relief for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and other debt obligations;
- Pause negative credit reporting when hardship relief is in effect, per well-established standards for natural and declared disasters; and
- Create a centralized hardship contact so individuals affected by disasters can have one point of contact for seeking ass assistance from all of their creditors
