Debt Protection from LGE

With Debt Protection, an unexpected, real-life event won’t leave you scrambling to pay your monthly bills.

LGE Community Credit Union’s Debt Protection can help relieve financial pressure in the event of death, disability, or involuntary unemployment. With LGE’s Debt Protection, your loan balance or your monthly loan payments will be cancelled without penalty or added interest.

We’ve designed our Debt Protection program to fit the times we live in today. More than ever, we all worry about things that might happen tomorrow. Debt Protection provides an important sense of financial security – knowing your loan will not become a burden to you in times of hardship.

You benefit from the peace of mind knowing you and your credit rating are protected.

Ensure that one of your major monthly expenses will be taken care of as you search for new employment. After a 90-day waiting period, the monthly payment (up to $1,000) is cancelled for up to six payments with a maximum cancellation of $15,000 over the term of the loan.
