Generally, situations leading to workouts such as default or delinquency are considered beyond the scope of the consumer protections. This borrower is not making a decision or choice. Instead, the borrower and creditor are working out a compromise, so disclosures are not required.
Disclosures can be a very nice thing to do. Another consideration would be that when you are working with a consumer who has already encountered problems with repayment, you want to be very careful. Disclosures even though not required, could be a nice thing to do, but be sure that they are correct.
At a minimum, you should give the consumer information about the workout rate and payment schedule. Since disclosures aren't required, you can do this in whatever format works for your systems.
