I am writing this letter because I am no longer able to meet the monthly payment for my car loan. I have currently paid {amount} of {total}. I am due to pay {amount} for the next {number} months. I cannot pay that amount, but I could pay {amount} over the next {number} months instead.
I am unable to make my payments on time because of a sudden financial crisis. In the last few weeks I have had to cope with {job loss, family member death, be specific}. I am working hard to get back on my feet, but if I am unable to reduce or extend my payment period then I will have to file for bankruptcy, which I am hoping to avoid.
I need my car for {job purposes} and am hoping to avoid repossession. I am attaching my financial documents such as {documents}, which should indicate the suddenness and seriousness of my situation.
I look forward to hearing from you soon so that we can work out an acceptable payment plan for the future.
