I was able to get a debt consolidation loan from GWCU.

I was able to get a debt consolidation loan from GWCU. The interest rate was much better than my credit cards and other loans I was looking at. The application process was easy. However, I would have liked to speak to someone before my loan was approved. There was some chance I might have been eligible for an even better rate, I would've liked to speak to them about it.
