“Mission Lane must have seen my potential, because they offered me an opportunity and took a chance on me when others wouldn’t, and I’m grateful for that.” Annie, Mission Lane cardmember 

Life happens. Setbacks, job loss, unexpected medical bills — there are any number of financial speed bumps that might affect your ability to pay the monthly minimum on your credit card. 

When hardships arise, your priority is health and safety, which often means paying bills like rent, mortgage, utilities, transportation and groceries before paying credit cards. In some situations, even making the minimum payment on your card might be unrealistic.

But can your credit card company help? 

In some cases, yes. Mission Lane offers hardship relief to help qualifying cardmembers struggling with financial circumstances beyond their control. 

What is Hardship Relief?

At Mission Lane, hardship relief refers to payment plans that may provide a cardmember with alternatives like a temporarily reduced minimum payment, a reduced APR, or the ability to miss a payment without incurring late fees or additional interest charges. 

Hardship relief doesn’t eliminate credit card debt, but offers a cardmember the breathing room to take a pause while they get back on their feet. 

Important note: Everyone has their own unique financial road to travel. Eligibility for hardship relief is based on your specific circumstances as well as a variety of other factors. 

If you’re struggling with financial circumstances beyond your control, it’s important to reach out to a Mission Lane service agent as soon as possible so they can assist you in navigating your options. Call Mission Lane (855) 570-3732 to speak with a customer service agent, or contact us through the website or app.
