Do you have poor credit? No credit card? These questions can be fixed on June 24, 2023, between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm at Court Square Cafe in Alton, Missouri, where Gene Weinbeck will give credit counseling.
Location and Time
The credit counseling will be at Court Square Café in Alton on Saturday, June 24, from 3-6 pm.
What Will Happen
At the counseling, you can learn how to repair any bad credit yourself for free and see if you qualify for a short-term $500 credit builder loan to improve your credit score. The loan includes a $300 secured credit card. Most qualify, even with bad credit, especially if it is old.
Cost
This free service is funded by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and administered by a nonprofit Community Action Agency. So, no hidden fees or salesmen are lurking in the bushes.
Gene Weinbeck
