This series highlights real member success stories with Choice Map.
The road to somewhere better
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and when challenges pile up, it’s easy to feel like you’re out of options. For some of our members, tough situations might make options like repossession or bankruptcy seem like the only way forward. But we’re here to offer support and explore better solutions that will help protect you now, and in the future.
One of our members faced an incredibly challenging situation when he lost a full-time job he’d dedicated over eleven years to. With only part-time income from two jobs, he and his wife, who has been unable to work due to a chronic health condition, found themselves in a tough spot with mounting debt. Their credit scores took a hit, and it felt like there was no way out.
Digging yourself out of debt
Thankfully, this member connected with one of our personal advisors through our Choice Map consultation, who dug deeper to find a way to help them climb that hill.
She revealed a hidden asset: $240,000 in home equity. Recognizing the potential to turn things around, she promptly reached out to the Home Equity team, securing a $35,000 HELOC for the member. This support enabled them to pay off their credit card debt and restore their auto loan. Borrowing with Choice Map, guided by our caring personal advisor, made a world of difference in their finances. This made it possible for them to simplify their monthly bills, protect their assets, pay off their credit card debt and get their auto loan back on track.
With a little planning and guidance this member was able to avoid losing their car and falling further into high-interest credit card debt. Instead, we turned a challenging situation into a success story.
This is a perfect example of why we’re so dedicated to what we do—because we want to see you live your best life. We’re simply lucky to be here to help you.
