Sources of Help
 If
you need help, please remember you are not alone. Many of us at one
time or another have needed financial assistance. An unexpected medical
bill, car repair or other unplanned expense can wreak havoc on an already
tight budget. It is important not to allow your personal pride get in
the way. Seek help. You will probably find that help is not only available,
but also quick and easy. Here are some resources:
- If you are active
duty, your Command Financial Specialist can provide guidance on resources
available to you.
- Your local Fleet
& Family Support Center can help you learn to spend money wisely
with their FREE financial classes and FREE one on one financial counseling.
This advice is confidential.
- The Navy-Marine
Corps Relief Society may be able to assist by providing interest-free
loans or grants to help with emergency needs such as: Food, Rent, Emergency
Transportation, Child Care Expenses, Medical/Dental bills and other
unforeseen family emergencies. Contact your local NMCS location to schedule
an appointment.
- Your local Legal
Assistance Office can provide additional guidance concerning credit
and consumer law issues and predatory lending. You can locate the nearest
Legal Assistance Office at http://legalassistance.law.af.mil/content/locator.php.
- Your personal bank or credit union may be able to help you with financial
counseling and low interest loans.
- If you’re
having trouble making your Military Star Card payment please call toll
free, 1-877-891-7827. Exchange Credit Central will work with you to
set up a reduced payment plan which will get you back on track.
