CORONA VIRUS UPDATE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
The health and safety of our customers and staff is extremely important to PEOPLES CREDIT INC.
Our customers are important to us and helping those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic is a top priority.
If you are affected by COVID-19 and have become unemployed Peoples Credit Inc is willing to help you stay current on your loan and keep your credit good.
If you need assistance please call us at 630-552-7974, we will need proof that you job has laid you off (a letter or e-mail from your employer will be fine). Once we have this we can offer the options below:
1. You may pay a deferment
2. You may apply to refinance your loan and we can set a
first payment due date scheduled 45 days from the
date of closing, giving you a fresh start.
If you need to make a payment you may use the drop slot on the west end of the building, or you may make a payment on the payment system via the APP or at peoplescredit.net
If you apply for credit online, we will be monitoring credit applications and will be able to answer them.
If you have questions, please e-mail us at [email protected] and we will be able to answer your questions.
Government Assistance
On March 18, Congress passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), which gives Americans free access to COVID-19 tests, strengthens the social safety net and enhances sick and family paid leave programs. The bill provides more than $100 billion in funding to help stem the epidemic.
Testing
The bill requires private healthcare providers to cover COVID-19 testing without cost and waives cost sharing under Medicare, TRICARE and the VA. The law also gives states the option to expand Medicare to provide COVID-19 related coverage to those that are not insured.
If you or someone you know requires COVID-19 testing, please contact your primary care provider or local hospital for more information and next steps.
Expanded Unemployment Benefits
The bill covers costs for states that extend unemployment payments for six months beyond the usual six-month time limit. The benefit would apply only to states that see their unemployment rates rise by at least 10%. Each state’s rules may be different. Contact your state’s unemployment insurance program to learn about and apply for unemployment insurance.
