What debts need paid during a moratorium?

A moratorium temporarily pauses debt payments, giving the debtor relief for a set period. The important point is timing: only those debts that become due during the moratorium are required to be paid within that period. Debts that were due before the moratorium are not payable during it, as the pause applies to those pre-existing obligations. After the moratorium ends, those pre-moratorium debts remain and are dealt with under the terms that apply then, while any new or ongoing obligations that fall due after the moratorium resume as normal or under renegotiated terms. So the correct approach reflects that the window of relief targets the debts due within the moratorium itself, not all existing debts, not a total suspension, and not limited only to secured debts.
