Credit Control in Letterkenny CU – “We are here to help.”

 

What is the Credit Control Committee?

This is a committee set up by the Board of Directors to check that loans are being repaid as promised. It is a service to Members who may need advice due to changed circumstances. In the event of being unable to keep to the terms of his or her credit agreement, the Member should see the Credit Control Officer immediately and make them aware of this and together arrange a suitable repayment plan.

What are Loan Arrears?

The first week you miss a loan repayment, your account falls into arrears. If it remains in arrears our Credit Control Officer will contact you. If you find yourself in financial difficulty and unable to meet your credit union loan repayments, ring our credit control officer before our credit control officer rings you.

  • Family circumstances have changed,
  • Are on a low income,
  • Fallen behind in loan repayments,

  • Find yourself over-indebted
  • …And find it difficult to meet repayments
