DEAR EDITOR -- The Government is currently bringing in legislation regarding credit laws in relation to borrowing, to clearly outline the small print which lenders often do not wish the customers to know.

I would be grateful if your paper would again draw public attention to the existence of Bromsgrove and District Credit Union and how local people can join and then borrow at a much-reduced rate than the banks.

The Credit Union was founded by the Labour administration under Trevor Porter, when Labour was in control of the Council from 1995 to 1999.

Its registered office is Catshill Baptist Church, Milton Road, Catshill. Telephone number: 01527 877462 (Chair) 01527 874716 (Treasurer). Fax Number: (01527) 880309. E-mail ddress: andrew_shirley@talk21.com
