UPDATE: Federal regulators have made it clear that if you receive a forbearance under the CARES Act, your mortgage servicer cannot require you to repay your skipped payments in a lump sum once the forbearance period ends. Also, wait times for most call centers have eased, we encourage you to contact your servicer to learn more.
