Washington, D.C. – The National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) presented three Herb Wegner Memorial Awards at its annual dinner Monday night.

The awards ceremony celebrated three of the highest national honors in the credit union movement:

  • Lifetime Achievement: Rudy Hanley, President and CEO, SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union. Hanley has been described as a visionary, consensus builder, and a respected voice for all in the credit union industry.
  • Individual Achievement: Daniel A. “Dan” Mica, Former President and CEO, Credit Union National Association (CUNA). Mica helped preserve credit union access for millions of consumers, protect credit unions’ federal tax exemption, raised credit union political involvement to the highest levels, and a host of additional achievements.
  • Outstanding Organization: National Youth Involvement Board (NYIB). For 38 years, the National Youth Involvement Board and its volunteer network of credit union youth advocates have consistently led the charge to bring financial education and understanding of credit unions to America’s young people.

“There is no honor greater than the one that comes from your peers,” said Hanley.  “It is especially humbling when it comes from those you admire and are far more deserving.”

Over 800 credit union leaders and supporters attended the event held in conjunction with CUNA’s Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC).

“This year’s winners will join an elite group of 45 individuals and 21 organizations whose extraordinary efforts over the past 23 years have earned the credit union movement’s highest national honors,” said emcee Bob Schumacher, CEO of MountainCrest CU, Arlington, Wash.

Schumacher, who also chairs NCUF’s Awards and Recognition Committee, ended the evening with a note of inspiration, “As we go on with our lives, let’s carry on a commitment to inspire others through our work with credit unions.  Let’s re-dedicate ourselves to advance our great credit union movement, ever mindful of our credit union values and our cooperative principles.”

The Herb Wegner Memorial Awards are named in honor of late CUNA CEO Herb Wegner, whose innovative ideas and deeds revolutionized the ways that credit unions serve their communities.  The awards carry on Wegner’s spirit of “innovative, creative, risk-taking” leadership.

When you say it’s too low to refinance, I assume you are referring to your credit score, and not your liquor supply.The whole purpose of credit scoring is to allow banks etc. to decide on who is or is not a good credit risk. If your score is too low, then I assume there is a reason for that.And if I’m right to this point, then inability to refinance is the consequence of poor credit.You may be placing the cart before the horse. Improving credit score is likely your best choice… which means you may not be eligible for loans until you put in some better performance. Most lending agencies will avoid lending to poor credit risks, based on past performance. Where loans are available, generally it’s at a much higher rate of interest… and that’s no fun.I hope I answered the question you asked. If it was actually a different question, then for 10 points, my answer to that would be … definitely maybe depending on your horoscope and caloric intake.

In addition to what others have said, “high interest rates” on relatively small loans with a relatively short repayment period (such as car loans) don’t make nearly as much difference as on large ticket items with a long repayment period (such as a mortgage).For example, if you owe $10,000 on your car with an interest rate of 8% and 3 years to repay, you will be paying about $313/month. If you owe the same amount, same repayment period, with an interest rate of half that, i.e., 4% you will be paying just over $295/month. Your “savings” from the “better” interest rate is just a little over $0.50 cents per day. There are a lot easier ways to save $0.50 cents per day than by trying to refinance your vehicle when your credit score won’t support a refinance. For example, drink tap water for one beverage per day rather than drinking coffee, tea, soda pop, or juice. That will save you more money than would refinancing the hypothetical vehicle in this example.

Before we answer this one, you need to know that there is an important difference between a credit report and a credit score.Credit report vs credit scoreThe credit report is just like it sounds: A listing of your financial accounts (such as bank accounts and credit cards), where you live, property owned or rented, how much you owe, how well you pay your bills, whether or not you have been sued or arrested, and if you have filed for bankruptcy.Your credit score takes the data from your credit report, and boils it down to a number. The FTC explains it as so:Information about you and your credit experiences, like your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts you have, whether you pay your bills by the date they’re due, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts, is collected from your credit report. Using a statistical program, creditors compare this information to the loan repayment history of consumers with similar profiles. For example, a credit scoring system awards points for each factor that helps predict who is most likely to repay a debt. A total number of points — a credit score — helps predict how creditworthy you are — how likely it is that you will repay a loan and make the payments when they’re due.A free credit reportBy federal law, Americans can get a free report from each of the three national credit reporting companies every year, or if you’re denied a loan based on your report.Via , you can get your credit report free once every 12 months from the major credit agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Do note that the AnnualCreditReport.com site is the only federally-authorized source for the free annual credit report. (.)Getting your credit scoreDuring some mortgage transactions, you can get your credit score information free of charge — contact whoever is making or arranging your loan to find out how.Otherwise, getting your credit score can be a bit like navigating a maze. That’s because you ideally want your FICO score — this is the one that most lenders will be checking to make decisions about your credit. Via , FICO will charge about $20 for one report (but will try to sell you various other services, so shop carefully).The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) also gives you the right to get your own credit score from the national credit reporting companies. They are allowed to charge a “reasonable fee” — usually about $8 — for the score.Do be aware that the “big 3″ credit agencies will also try to upsell you on credit monitoring and other subscription services — and may make it hard to find the information you need for the single, low-cost report. Here are some direct links to help:Equifax: , call 1-877-SCORE-11Transunion: Get your credit score via  or call 1-800-888-4213. .Experian: Does not currently make a FICO score available via this program, but offers their own proprietary scoring system to consumers — which, depending on your needs, may not be as much help.That’s good karmaAs a free option, check out  — a free consumer service offering credit simulators, free credit scores (not FICO, but the TransRisk New Account Score and VantageScore from TransUnion), score comparisons and more to help you actively manage your credit and financial health.The upside to the hassleHaving good credit can certainly make your life easier — but you need to be organized and efficient with your bill paying chores to stay on track. , and also remind you that whenever entering personal or other sensitive data on a computer, ensure that the connection is secure (look for the lock icon on the web page). Furthermore, if you’re connected to the internet through wifi or a router, confirm that it is password-protected and the signal is encrypted ().

see if they have a finance cnomapy in your area. You may have to pay a high interest rate 25% or more until you get it paid off. If you have no late payments this could turn your credit around. Do not send the $ 700.00 to international trust! Try to stay with a reputable cnomapy that is located near your town and one that has been in business.If all else fails, get a second part-time job- or sell your stuff you no longer need on eBay-do not ship items until you get the money for it. Then make sure you send item within 5 days.You can also have a garage / bake sale.
