Dear {credit card company}:
I breathed a sigh of relief when I read in the news about your company's program allowing credit card payments to be deferred. I will need to take advantage of this offer.
My account number is {number}, and I owe {amount}.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, I have {lost my job/been furloughed/have seen my income decline}. All my money is going toward shelter, utilities, and food for my family.
I understand that interest will continue to accrue.
Please confirm that I have been confirmed as eligible to skip payments, as I do not want anything negative to be reflected on my credit report.
Sincerely,
{Sender Name}
