MPECU Member Success Story:

Member “Carl”, had two appointments within a month to work on addressing his student loans.  At the time of the appointment, Carl was out of work with many barriers to getting employment.  His student loans were in default due to having so much financial chaos going on.  Carl told the counselor he didn’t know where to even start when it came to addressing the student loans.  The counselor walked him through the options of getting the loans back into good standing and helped him ensure he felt comfortable both with his short-term options and long-term repayment plans.  He stated that this would help him to feel better about getting a job as he has been very nervous about being garnished.

When the counselor connected with him recently for the year-after review, he stated that the loans are now in good standing and he’s been working and feeling really good about moving forward in other areas of his finances as well.  The counselor talked to him about savings and he mentioned that would be nice, as he feels like he can actually do that now.
