Through BALANCE, members will receive free, unbiased information
and assistance. To use the services, simply call, toll-free,
1-888-456-2227. Counselors are available Monday through
Thursday, 8:00a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Friday, 8:00a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and
Saturday, 11:00a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
In many cases BALANCE counselors can answer your questions
immediately. If you're wondering how long something stays on your
credit report or whether it's better to lease or buy a car, you'll get
the answers as soon as you call. For those with more complex
issues, like debt problems or budget issues, an appointment will be
scheduled allowing enough time to go over your budget and discuss
options.
If bill payments are an issue, simply reworking your current budget is
not enough to help you get back on track. Your counselor may be
able to arrange a Debt Management Plan and negotiate with creditors to
reduce payments, interest charges and fees as you work toward paying
off your debt. There is no charge for you for a Debt Management Plan.
