Ford Motor Credit Co. is offering customers affected by Hurricane Katrina the opportunity to defer up to two vehicle payments. Under the Disaster Relief Program, Ford Credit, Jaguar Credit, Land Rover Capital Group, Mazda American Credit, Primus Financial Services and Volvo Car Finance can delay monthly payments without payment extension fees.

The program is open to customers living in counties that FEMA has declared federal disaster areas as a result of the storm.

“Customers living in the path of the storm have enough to worry about,” said A.J. Wagner, president of Ford Motor Credit North America. “This program provides customers some breathing room while they rebuild.”

Deferred payments are due at the end of the contract term. Customers who do not receive a letter in the next week, but believe they qualify, may call the toll-free number listed for their brand to register.
