CDCU provides information about numerous loan products and housing programs, and may refer Client to other agencies for

or information received, participation in programs, and utilization of services provided by CDCU or its partners is the Client’s
responsibility. Participation in any of CDCU’s programs does not obligate Client to participate, receive, purchase or utilize any
other services offered by CDCU or its partners or funders.
Client acknowledges that if CDCU provides housing and financial counseling/coaching services, Client will receive a written
action plan consisting of recommendations for handling Client’s financial and housing situation. Client understands that the
quality of the action plan is dependent on the accuracy of the information that Client provides and that errors in factual
information may seriously affect the projected outcomes discussed in counseling. Likewise, any change in Client’s personal
situation may significantly change the potential for success of the decisions Client makes pursuant to the action plan.
CDCU reserves the right to terminate services at any time if it is determined that Client does not qualify for the programs that
CDCU offers, if Client’s needs cannot be met by said programs, or if a respectful and professional relationship is not
maintained. CDCU does not tolerate verbal abuse or harassment. Client may also terminate services at any time.
