A Salute To Volunteers
2.
National Volunteer Week April 12-18, 2015
The special week is about gratitude to and recognition of people working together.
Indeed, there are feelings of satisfaction and happiness when we “pull together” to
meet challenges, fulfill set goals, and make this world a better place for everyone.
Volunteering provides opportunities to share and improve your skills with others,
gain experience, meet new people, feel needed and valued, and make a difference
in people's lives.
HUD FCU would like to publicly recognize our volunteers. This includes our Directors,
members of our various Committees and their supportive spouses. We sincerely
appreciate them sharing their “thinking tanks,” time, and energy spent on policy
decisions that redound to the financial stability, safety, and welfare of the HUD
Federal Credit Union and its members.

Ways To Raise Your Credit Score
n
Build a long history of on-time payments on loans and debts.
Don’t max out your credit lines. It’s better to use part of available credit on a few accounts than all of your available credit on just one account.
n
Don’t open or close accounts as a strategy to raise your score. However, if you have more open accounts than you need, close newer credit accounts rather than ones you’ve had for a while.
n
n
Pay off revolving debt rather than shifting it from card to card.
When shopping for a loan, submit applications within a limited time. If shopping for a car loan, for example, and you visit five dealers in three weeks, those five inquiries on your credit report will count as one inquiry to a potential lender looking at your report.
n
Check your three credit reports free once each year (one every four months) through annualcreditreport.com or 877-322-8228, and contact the creditor and the credit bureau to correct any error(s)
