Freedom Financial Network Launches Consumer Helpline in California for COVID-19 Financial Questions

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Freedom Financial Network (FFN) is launching its free consumer helpline to help Californians in need of information and resources on how to manage the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Freedom Financial Network will staff the helpline, 844-731-0886, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. PDT, Monday through Friday. Specialists will help consumers understand what options may be available to help them manage the financial impacts of the pandemic. Helpline staff can address topics including:

    --  Information on forbearance, deferment or other help from creditors
        (mortgage lenders, credit card issuers, personal loan lenders, student
        loan lenders)
    --  Potential unemployment assistance
    --  Information on small-business government assistance programs
    --  Resource guides and information about government assistance programs
        created to help those impacted by the COVID-19 crisis

The company launched the helpline in Arizona last month. "Initial results have confirmed that many people need help in understanding and accessing available assistance programs," says Andrew Housser, co-founder and co-CEO of FFN. "Our helpline offers just that."

"COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the financial health of millions of consumers in California," he says. He points to unemployment estimates of up to 25% for the state, and recent data that confirms the United States is officially in a recession.

"We take our commitment to helping the communities in which we operate to heart, and now is the time to help California," he says. "Our mission at Freedom Financial Network is to empower everyday people to move forward toward a better financial future. Sometimes, they need a little help along the way. This helpline is one of the best ways we can do that right now."
