Purdown Credit Union

I am a member of this credit union and cant praise it highly enough! If you live or work in Lockleaze or Horfield you are free to join and can then use the services that it offers. I have savings accounts for myself and 3 children and have one of my wages paid straight into my account. If you join and then need a cash loan they will take your wages/​benefits into account and are able to offer loans at a highly competitve rate. This is important as lots of doorstep lenders operate in our area and charge ridiculous amounts of interest. If you need help regarding debts i am sure that they offer a service for this also and can help you as a go between with creditors etc. If you then need to access your account you can go to various locations within the area on certain days and request a cheque which i then cash at the post office. This is a real help to people like me who can save and still use the money if needed [unforeseen bill etc!]Look into this place its a great service with friendly staff.
