Della's Story

Why did you come to the Financial Empowerment Center?

My success story starts with the reason why I came to the Financial Empowerment Center: I came to the center to get help with cleaning my credit, which will help me prepare for purchasing a home for me and my family.

What financial achievements have you made since coming to the FEC?

I have written two validation letters to dispute the negative items on my credit report. I have also worked on starting a homeschool for a source of income for me during this pandemic.

Why and how has the FEC made a difference in your financial future and overall life? What has working with a Financial Coach done to help you, your family, etc.? What would you say to a friend or family member who was curious about how the FEC could help them?

The FEC has helped me to get my credit report, find the negative disputes, and resolve the issues. By doing this it has changed my mindset and that has truly blessed me in my overall future. Working with a Financial Coach has helped me by putting a lot of my ideas in perspective. She has encouraged me to follow my dreams and reminded me that I can do what I need to do. She has also encouraged my daughter and she has decided to get a better job and go back to school, and she is looking forward to cleaning up her credit. I would tell them that the FEC is a great way to help you build your confidence in taking care of your bad credit and that they have people there who truly care about helping you get your personal business in order.

Do you plan to continue working with your Financial Coach to achieve specific goals? What goals?

I do want to continue working with my Financial Coach. She is very resourceful and encouraging. The specific goals that I will be working on are writing my budget and also writing a business plan (with help from another partner organization). She will help me by giving me her advice and helping assess whether my goals are achievable. She can point out what obstacles that I might face along the way.
