Coronavirus Payment Assistance

Credit card companies offer payment assistance and payment deferment for a month for those that are affected by the business closures due to the coronavirus outbreak. Some have options to request the deferment online, others you must call. The payment deferment makes the minimum payment to zero, so you are not required to make a payment this month. However, it does not remove the interest.

To request the payment deferment from Capital One, call 800.227.4825. They are friendly and willing to help.
