6 | General tips | Financial concerns | If your income is disrupted, take a deep breath. There is help for you. It is a good idea to call each of your bill providers now and ask for a payment suspension. (Say your income is disrupted due to coronavirus. Some customer service agents may not be allowed to help until you say "coronavirus"). Even lenders who are not legally required to do so might delay due dates, but you need to call. Call early (not the day the bill is due) because there will probably be longer hold times. Keep as much money in your account as possible for medical supplies, food, etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | General tips | Privacy concerns | Be careful of calls, emails, posts that may be taking advantage of people in a vulnerable situation. Do not give out account info or personal details via email. Do not give this information to anyone who calls you. When calling a trusted source, you may need to provide some personal details - but be careful. If you feel pressured to make a decision right away, step away and look into whether this is a scam. Watch out for unknown entities selling face masks, etc.; make sure they are reputable. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
