VETERAN SPOTLIGHT
John Weinle, an Army veteran, who was introduced to the program by attending Soldier On's Freddie Mac Credit Smart education courses, shared some thoughts with us on how the program helped him:
"My credit score improved by nearly 30 points in the first six months, and with monthly counseling sessions I've now improved my score by 60 points!
My first introduction to the program focused on why credit is important. The user-friendly resources I was provided really helped me tackle my financial situation. Also, being able to listen to success stories made the program more realistic."
Meet: JOHN WEINLE
After the first few sessions it was clear I needed guidance. My credit score improved by nearly 30 points within the first 6 months. By utilizing advice on what adjustments I needed to make and how I could improve my credit score, I ultimately gained the eligible credit score to obtain my own apartment. As I continue to engage in monthly counseling sessions, i've now improved my credit score by 60 points!
Why do you continue to use the service?
This program teaches you tips to help improve your overall credit score, which I witnessed within the first 6 months just by following the program guidance. Their counselors provide many helpful tips you would not think of.
Is there anything you'd like other veterans to know about the program?
