SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF CREDIT REPORTS & CREDIT SCORES


Presented by: Sue Malo, Business Development, CCUE, Great Lakes
Credit Union

     Sue will demystify the often confusing and
misleading information out there about credit reports and credit scores. 
We all have a NUMBER on our forehead! While your credit score isn’t necessarily
a topic for cocktail conversation, you should be well informed on what
determines your credit score, what your credit report says about you to a creditor,
what the impact is of negative information in your credit report, and how you
fix your credit score and maintain good credit.  Come and get the
legitimate low down!

     Sue is in her 10th year in the Credit
Union industry overseeing both Marketing and Business Development during her
tenure at Great Lakes Credit Union (GLCU) and is a designated Certified Credit
Union Executive (CCUE).  Under Sue’s leadership GLCU has won the Dora
Maxwell Social Responsibility and Desjardins Youth Financial Literacy awards for
numerous years.  In 2013, Sue was recognized as a Lake County “Woman of
Distinction” for her work with youth financial literacy.  Prior to GLCU,
Sue demonstrated proven success in marketing, sales and business development in
high performing Fortune 500 corporate and start-up financial services
environments.
