2/5

We need the banks, credit card companies & credit reporting agencies to come up with a plan to suspend mortgage collection, suspend foreclosures, suspend evictions, suspend ALL late fees & penalties, remove minimum payments, suspend interest & reporting to credit agencies
3/5

We need the participation of ALL banks and credit card companies in emergency loan programs for individuals & small businesses. We need to stop dinging the scores of people applying for loans at a time when they need their hard earned credit scores the most.
