Need A Payment Break?
With holiday expenses on the horizon, some members with North County Credit Union loans might find it helpful to skip one month's payment. If so, we invite you to take advantage of our "Skip-A-Payment" option. It allows you to skip either your November or December 2011, or January or February 2012, monthly payment. For more details and to participate in this program, just download and complete our Skip-A-Payment Request Form and return it to North County Credit Union by mail, fax it to us at (858) 487-8840, or drop it off at our branch. There is a $35 fee for this service. Not all loan types are eligible. Other restrictions apply.
