Through BALANCE, you have access to free, unbiased money management information and assistance. All you have to do is make a toll-free phone call.	BALANCE counselors can answer many of your questions immediately - from how long an item stays on your credit report to whether it’s better to lease or buy a car. For more complex issues, such as debt elimination or budget development, an appointment will be scheduled - giving you the personal attention you need to meet your objectives.
To use the new program, simply call 1(888) 456-2227. Counselors are available Monday through Thursday, 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (PST), Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Or visit http://www.balancepro.net/partners/kitsapcu/ for more information.
If bills have gotten out of hand, your counselor may be able to arrange a Debt Management Plan. BALANCE negotiates with creditors to reduce interest and fees so you can pay your debt quickly and efficiently. As a member of Kitsap Credit Union, the program’s monthly administration fee of $20 is waived. We recognize that money concerns have a serious effect on our quality of life. Now, through our newest partnership, you have access to the very best professional guidance - so you can achieve financial security faster than you ever thought possible.
