 TITLE: How Many Car Payments Can You Defer? CONTENT: Should You Apply for a Car Loan Deferment?\n------------------------------------------\nAn auto loan deferment that lets you skip or reduce your loan payment temporarily could be the break you need if you can't make your payment. If you're considering this option, talk to your lender to find out how long the deferment lasts, how much it will cost and whether you can defer payments more than once. You'll generally need a good credit score to get a deferment; check your credit score before applying to see where you stand. Getting approved for a deferment on your car loan isn't to be taken lightly, but it could make all the difference in keeping up with your payments—and keeping up your credit score. END
