[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Creditor's Name] [Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Request for Temporary Reduction of Loan Payment Amount Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to you today to discuss my current financial situation and request your assistance in temporarily reducing my loan payment amount. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am facing financial hardship that has made it difficult for me to meet my monthly loan obligations. I am a resident of Maryland and hold a loan account with [Creditor's Name] since [Loan account opening date]. I have diligently made regular payments on time, but recently, a series of unfortunate events, including [mention specific circumstances such as job loss, medical emergency, or unexpected expenses], have severely impacted my income and ability to meet my financial responsibilities. Furthermore, I am proactively reaching out to you to explore the possibility of temporarily reducing my loan payment amount until I can stabilize my financial situation. Furthermore, I believe that with a reduced payment amount, I will be able to continue meeting my loan obligations and avoid defaulting on the loan agreement. Furthermore, I kindly request you to consider the following temporary payment reduction options: 1. Temporary Interest Rate Reduction: I understand that the interest rate on my loan is determined according to the prevailing market conditions and the loan agreement. However, I request a temporary reduction in the interest rate for a specific period. This would help alleviate my financial burden while I navigate through this difficult time. 2. Extended Loan Term: Another suggestion is to extend the loan term. By adding extra months or years to my loan term, the monthly payment amount will decrease, making it more feasible for me to make timely payments. This extended term would not result in any additional financial burden for me in the long run. 3. Payment Deferral Option: If a temporary loan payment reduction is not possible, I would appreciate your consideration of a payment deferral option. This would allow me to temporarily pause my loan payments for a specific time frame, giving me a chance to stabilize my financial situation and resume regular payments without significant penalty or detrimental consequences. I would be grateful if you could review my financial situation and take these temporary modification options into serious consideration. As a responsible borrower, I assure you that once my financial situation improves, I will revert to the original loan payment terms and fulfill my obligations promptly. To support my request, I have enclosed relevant financial documentation, including bank statements, pay stubs, and any other supporting materials that demonstrate my current financial hardship. Please treat this information with strict confidentiality. I hope you understand the gravity of my situation and the efforts I am making to honor my loan commitment. You're understanding and cooperation during this time of financial uncertainty will be immensely appreciated. I kindly request an acknowledgement of this letter within [mention the desired time frame]. You can contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address] to discuss any further details, to propose alternative solutions, or if you require any additional documentation. Thank you for your time, consideration, and understanding. I look forward to a positive response from you soon. Sincerely, [Your Name]
