UCU Debt Consolidation Loan – Reduce your Debt, Improve your Credit Score



If you are carrying multiple credit card balances every month and are having trouble keeping up with your household bills or other loan payments, then a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan may help simplify your debt repayment process and keep you on track to becoming debt-free sooner.  Paying down your UCU Debt Consolidation Loan on time, every month could also give your credit rating a much-needed boost.

UCU Debt Consolidation Loan Quick Facts
UCU Debt Consolidation Loan will pay off your outstanding debts including debt from credit cards, household utilities or other loans and combine them into one big loan. Instead of paying each creditor individually, a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan will set up one repayment schedule with a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments.

UCU Debt Consolidation Loan Advantages
A UCU Debt Consolidation Loan will simplify your bill payments, lower your interest rates and save you money each month.

One Monthly Payment
No need to keep track of multiple payment due dates, or worry about late or missed payments on your credit cards, household bills or other loans. With a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan, you will only have to make one monthly payment to cover all your debts. This will help to relieve the pressure and stress of paying many different bills each month and also reduce the risk of being late on any monthly payment.

Lower Interest Rates
If you are carrying multiple credit card balances every month, you are paying very high-interest rates that are compounded every time you do not pay off your balance in full. That means you could end up paying more interest than you could in paying down your principal debt.

With a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan, you will have only one loan to repay with a much lower interest rate than your current credit card rates.

There are no upfront application fees when you apply for a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan. Just visit your local UCU Branch and provide some basic financial information, including proof of employment. You will also need to provide your credit card statements, household utility bills or any other loan agreements you wish to consolidate.  

A UCU Loan Specialist will then conduct a credit check to determine your credit score and the interest rate that you will be charged. A better credit score and steady income stream mean lower interest payments on your UCU Debt Consolidation Loan.

Pay Down Debt Faster
You can manage your debt easier with a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan.  With a lower interest rate and affordable monthly payment options, you will be able to pay down your debt sooner.

You will have up to five years to repay your loan, with your choice of weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly payment schedules.

You can even set up an automated payment plan from your UCU Chequing Account for a more convenient repayment solution.

Create a Household Budget
With a UCU Debt Consolidation Loan, you will know your repayment timeline – your monthly payment amount and exactly how long it will take you to repay your loan.  This will give you a clearer understanding of your overall finances and make it easier for you to create a household budget that will work for you.

Improve Your Credit Score
UCU Debt Consolidation Loan will help you stay ahead of credit damage by combining your high-interest loans into one lower monthly payment. By making your monthly payments on time, you will avoid late fees that can damage your credit score.  With regular monthly payments, you will improve your credit utilization – the credit you use up compared to the credit that is available to you. When you pay down your debt you also free up your available credit - and that can improve your overall credit score.

Personal Loan Insurance Premium Protection
You can purchase personal loan protection insurance for your UCU Debt Consolidation Loan. Life, disability and critical illness insurance can help protect you from an unforeseen event, by paying the outstanding balance of your loan in the event of illness or death, or by making your regular loan payments in the event of a disability. Conditions apply and the cost of the premiums will be added to your loan repayment schedule.
