WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY

Mrs D approached the City of Plymouth Credit Union with the intention of renewing her loan. While assessing her application it was identified she had a series of pay day loans. She had taken one pay day loan to help towards her wedding, then to repay the loan she borrowed from another pay day lender. Then borrowed from a third payday lender to repay lender two at the same time borrowing money from lender one to cover living costs. Her husband was unaware of any of this going on. The City of Plymouth Credit Union consolidated the loans into one. Mrs & Mr D are now settled into married life and are happily repaying their loan to the Credit Union on an affordable basis.

Miss S had a problem with her car which required repairs costing over £300. She explained that, without her car, she would lose her job as it was required to enable her to visit her clients. City of Plymouth Credit Union offered her a low-cost loan to enable her to carry on in her employment.

Mr G was setting up a business and required to purchase a van to enable him to visit his clients. City of Plymouth Credit Union provided him with a personal loan to purchase a van. His business is now highly successful and he has paid back his loan in full.

We had to scrap our car last week. We are lost without a car. Luckily, I have been saving with City of Plymouth Credit Union for just such an emergency and were able to borrow £3,000 at a very low rate of interest. Even the car salesman remarked that the finance he could offer would have been more expensive.

Mr C S, Living in PL1, Plymouth

City of Plymouth Credit Union helped me tremendously to budget and pay my bills. Excellent personal one-to-one without quibble.
