Bills and debt

Created May, 2020

New laws, regulations and policies can help you pay your bills if you are having trouble because of Covid-19.

You can get a free copy of your credit report every week until May 2021. See How can I get a copy of my credit report?

The new rules also protect people from scams like the ones that sell you fake Covid-19 tests or vaccines.

If you see unreasonably high prices for items like hand sanitizer, face masks or plastic gloves during this public health emergency, file a complaint online with the Attorney General's Office.

Most creditors and debt collectors cannot take, or threaten to take, your stimulus payment. But the Department of Revenue can take your money.

You may be able to get free legal help from your local legal aid program. Or email a question about your own legal problem to a lawyer.
