Disaster Relief Package and credit reporting
A disaster relief package is an agreement between you and your lender to adjust or defer your loan repayment obligations because something has happened which has impacted your ability to repay. Under credit reporting, this is supplied as a financial hardship arrangement and it may help improve your repayment information on your credit report if you meet your revised repayments.
