WOW Story: A Team Effort to Save a Home and a Family’s Peace of Mind

Happy credit union members

When Cheryl welcomed Mr. Fox into our Poulsbo branch, she expected a routine conversation about debt consolidation. But what unfolded was a deeper, more personal story. Mr. Fox and his wife had accumulated a substantial amount of debt and were seeking help to regain control of their finances.

As Cheryl spoke with them and pulled in Ylma for support, they discovered something more urgent: the couple had fallen behind on their property taxes, putting their home at risk. Rather than proceed with a personal loan as originally intended, Ylma quickly suggested an alternative—a Home Value Loan (HVL). It was a smart pivot that enabled us to consolidate their debts while also paying off the overdue taxes.

With their property taxes brought current and their debt restructured, the Foxes walked out with a huge weight lifted. Their monthly expenses were lower, and their most important asset—their home—was safe. It wasn’t just a loan; it was peace of mind.
