In response to such catastrophic events and to meet the needs of our valued customers, CMS has a program that evaluates, on a case-by-case basis, each affected customer's situation and eligibility for potential, individually-tailored relief. CMS customers who have been forced to evacuate their personal residence or whose homes have been damaged or destroyed as a result of a federally-declared, major natural disaster, may contact CMS to determine if they qualify for any of the following payment relief and other customer accommodations: - Waiver of assessments of penalties or late fees - Payment deferments - Forbearance or repayment plans - Suspension of credit reporting to reporting agencies while on forbearance or repayment plan **Carrington customers can review a summary of programs available to those who have experienced hardships as a result of a hurricane or other natural disaster.
