a friend of mine that works in a certain government department has put this up on their Facebook.
So - I just learned. When you call your creditors, mortgage lenders, utilities, etc. asking for help due to loss of income, if you just say you've lost work, income, jobs, show cancellations, whatever, they can't help you.
Once you say "I have no income due to the Coronavirus", that's the keyword they need to hear to be able to enact their new policies, defer payments, halt late fees, etc.
And, apparently, they can't coach you to say it. You have to do it yourself.
Just FYI for everyone, I know who, I suspect, needs this info. Companies have policies in place already - if you need them, use them!

Thanks mate, good advice.
my little bit buddy
I urge anyone that needs help take it.
When I was young I needed help and the government gave me support.
Don't feel ashamed, do it. You deserve help.
If not for yourself, for your family.
