Re: was thinkinh about a taking a loan for credit card refinaning

I think I'd go talk to some local CUs or look at other choices before springing for 21.99%.

Three years is a long time to pay off $1k IMHO...the interest rate is high too.  Not knowing your scores or anything on your report, you could get a loan from a CU for far better terms than what is offered to you now.


my Trasunion says 730 Score but that one is not fico;s score , also know some CU Names.


That depends on where you live but you can search here: http://www.ncua.gov/ncuamapping/pages/ncuagovmapping.aspx

A membership to a good CU or two can be very fruitful in obtaining decent terms and limits.  Membership requirements have loosen over the years so it would be in your best interest to join at least two.  Personally, I like having options. Smiley Wink
