Are You a Member Experiencing Financial Difficulty?

Are you facing unexpected financial problems? If so, we encourage all of our members who may have concerns to call us or come in and sit down and discuss your situation with a Peninsula Credit Union employee or manager. They are trained to take a fresh look at your circumstances and may be able to assist you and point you in the right direction for additional help. Also, as a service for our members who may be having a hard time dealing with personal debt, our branches offer a free copy of: Out of Hock & Out of Debt. This pamphlet offers advice on how to start the process of climbing out of debt. Another great reference is Consumer Credit Counseling Services, a nonprofit community service organization that provides confidential financial guidance, free consumer credit counseling services, educational resources, and debt management assistance. You can find them on line at www.creditcounseling.org If you are having problems making loan payments please call: 800-426-1601.
