Debt in Focus - free program! ROME, NY — June 01, 2010 AmeriCU Credit Union is proud to announce the launch of Debt in Focus, a free and anonymous financial assessment program accessible from the credit union’s website. While the recession has encouraged Americans to be more cautious with their finances, huge barriers remain when it comes to actually seeking financial advice from another party. Many consumers refuse to talk about their finances with a professional because of the embarrassment and discomfort associated with talking publicly about such a private subject. Worse, many consumers who actually seek financial guidance find that complex industry jargon and unclear directives leave them more confused than had they not acted at all. Debt in Focus addresses these barriers head-on. Consumers can complete the program without disclosing any personally identifying information. Debt in Focus provides consumers with a robust, yet easy-to-understand, evaluation of personal debts, incomes, expenses, and credit scores, along with powerful suggestions on how to improve each. Results are written in a concise, conversational tone with clear instructions on how to act on them. AmeriCU Credit Union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative serving eight counties in Central and Northern New York. Debt in Focus will be available for the general public, regardless of membership status. Try Debt in Focus now!
