CREDIT REPORT

The Fair Credit Reporting Act allows you access to your credit report for FREE from each of the three nationwide credit reporting companies – Equifax, TransUnion and Experian – every 12 months.

You can request your free report online, by phone or by mail. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com, call 1-877-322-8228 or fill out the Annual Credit Report Request form and mail it. For additional information you can download FTC Facts For Consumers, via PDF.

You have the option to request all three reports at once or to order one report at a time. By requesting the reports separately (one every 4 months), you can monitor your credit frequently throughout the year.

Because the information in your credit report is used to evaluate your applications for credit, insurance, employment and renting a home, you want to be sure the information is accurate and up-to-date. Monitoring your credit report is also one of the best ways to spot identity theft. Check your credit report at least once a year to correct errors and detect unauthorized activity.

SKIP A PAYMENT

Our Skip a Payment program is an option when you need to free up some cash and provide a little flexibility in your monthly budget.

Whether you need extra funds around the holidays or you’re faced with an unexpected expense, our Skip a Payment program allows you to “skip” making a loan payment on an eligible Cutting Edge loan. We offer seasonal skips in June, July, August, November, December, and January. Regular skips can be available anytime of the year. If you are experiencing a financial hardship, contact us to see if a Skip a Payment may be the temporary relief you need to get back on track.

When you skip a payment your loan term will be extended. This can increase the total interest you pay over the life of your loan. Interest will continue to accrue on your unpaid balance on a daily basis resulting in a greater amount of your next scheduled payment to be applied towards interest. Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) coverage dos not cover the amount of payment(s) skipped during the life of a loan in the event of a claim. The skipped payment may be deducted from any payable GAP benefit. You will be charged a $25 fee for each loan on which you request to skip a payment. The fee will be deducted from the Cutting Edge Credit Union deposit account you designate when your request is approved. The $25 fee will be waived in the event of a financial hardship.

The process is easy! Request your Skip a Payment online through Online Banking, by phone at 866-653-4392, or by using our Contact Request form below.
