WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union (PEFCU) invites the Greater Lafayette community to visit any PEFCU branch from 9:00a to 5:30p, on Thursday, January 29, for a no-cost, no-obligation credit report review during its first in a series of educational branch “lobby days”. Prior to attending the lobby day, individuals may access their credit report from CreditReportAmerica.com.
Every time someone applies for a new credit card, a mortgage or other loan, and perhaps even insurance or a job, his or her application is judged in part by a credit score, which is a three-digit number determined by an individual’s credit history. It is important for individuals to understand what comprises their credit history and how to read their credit reports because consumers with lower credit scores often pay higher interest rates on loans because they are considered riskier customers.
PEFCU Member Service Specialists will be available during the January 29 lobby day to help PEFCU members and non-members review and understand their credit reports. PEFCU Credit Counselors are also available for free one-on-one sessions and educational workshops. Individuals may learn more at www.purdueefcu.com, or by calling 765.497.3328 or 800.627.3328.
