Reasons to use a credit union

Reasons to use some credit unions. Just as there are good banks and bad banks there are good credit unions and bad credit unions.

When I wanted to buy my first house, I called the biggest local credit union to find out what the process would be like. Nobody would speak to me on the phone until I went to their web site and filled out a "pre-qualification" form that would then decide if I would be given a different phone number to call and speak to someone to set up an appointment to meet someone in person.

No thanks. I took my real money to a real bank.
