How I Boosted My Credit Score by 48 Points in Just Three Weeks—And How You Can, Too
Carla, an accounting clerk and proud member of People Driven Credit Union, wanted to buy her first home but felt stuck with a less‑than‑ideal credit score. She sat down with Julia, one of our loan officers, and together they mapped out a plan: to pay down high-interest cards and roll the rest into a single Debt Consolidation Loan. Carla combined four credit cards and two unsecured loans at the end of December; by mid‑January, her score had already jumped 48 points, putting a mortgage firmly within reach.

Why a Debt Consolidation Loan Works
-
Lower rate, less stress. By bundling multiple balances into a single personal loan, you may secure a lower interest rate and reduce your total interest paid. One predictable payment. Say goodbye to juggling due dates and minimums—one monthly payment keeps your budget on track.
-
Credit‑score momentum. Knocking down revolving balances can reduce your credit‑utilization ratio, a key factor in most scoring models. Keep payments on time and watch the points add up.
