The Tompkins County Public Library and Alternatives Federal Credit Union will host a workshop on Credit, Predatory Lenders and Credit Reports Thursday, February 11 at 6:00 PM in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.
Alternatives’ Financial Counselor and IDA Coordinator Brendan Wilbur will facilitate this informative program, which will explore what credit is, offer examples of predatory lending and explain credit reports and why it is important for individuals to know what information their reports contain. This informal program will offer opportunities for participants to ask questions, and Wilbur will be available following the workshop for one-on-one discussions.
Wilbur, who holds a bachelor of science degree in Environmental Science and Economics from the University of North Carolina, has worked for Alternatives for six years. He experienced many financial challenges before joining the Alternatives team and uses his own experiences to help others avoid the same traps and to help people achieve financial empowerment.
This free program is part of a financial series being offered by TCPL and Alternatives. For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248.
